Arsenal will hope for more of the same from last weekend, as they beat Tottenham 4-1 for the second time this season. However, it will be a tougher test against a Chelsea side who are battling for Champions League football.
Liam Rosenior’s side are currently fifth in the Premier League table, after a disappointing 1-1 draw against Burnley last weekend.
Chris Sutton says Chelsea’s defence will struggle against Arsenal
Former Premier League forward Chris Sutton has made his weekly predictions for the fixtures, and he believes that the Gunners will beat Chelsea 2-0 at the Emirates, despite the fact that the Blues are a very strong side.
He made sure to reference the niggle between the two sides the last time they played, when the Gunners partially trained in Chelsea’s half before the game. Sutton wrote for BBC Sport: “Arsenal have got to be careful they don’t warm up in the Chelsea half again, for starters. If I was playing in this game, I’d do it deliberately!
“In terms of the game, I can’t see anything other than a Gunners win. Chelsea can cause Arsenal a few problems because they have got players who can hurt anyone but, at the other end, I don’t see Liam Rosenior’s side keeping a clean sheet.
“I liked the way Arsenal responded to their setback against Wolves by battering Spurs. Chelsea don’t like them much either, but this is going to end up with the same result.”
