Arsenal v Chelsea Matched Betting Tips

Arsenal v Chelsea matched betting tips for the Premier League match at The Emirates Stadium on Wednesday 3rd January.  Read the match preview and predictions for Arsenal v Chelsea matched betting tips.

This is a huge game at the top of the Premier League as the race to finish in the top 4 heats up. Arsenal will have been bitterly disappointed not to have picked up all three points at West Brom on Sunday as a very controversial penalty decision denied them a win. Chelsea are in fine form at the moment, having dispatched Stoke City 5-0 on Saturday.

Mesut Ozil has a knee injury so is a doubt for the game, while Laurent Koscielny will face a late fitness test after coming off against West Brom. Sead Kolasinac was taken off in the game at Hawthorns too and is expected to sit out the welcome of Chelsea, while Nacho Monreal is a doubt. Santi Cazorla, Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud all miss out through injury as well.

Arsenal v Chelsea Predictions

Arsenal are unbeaten in their last six matches, but crucially they have only won two of those. That being said, they have only dropped points twice at the Emirates this season. The key difference could be the major injuries at the back for The Gunners.

Chelsea are unbeaten in five, winning four of those, but have won only one of their last four away from home. Antonio Conte’s side have kept four consecutive clean sheets in the Premier League, yet they have won only one of their last four league visits to Arsenal.

Eden Hazard got a rest on Saturday and will be at 100% for this. Considering Arsenal’s defence will be makeshift, it could be a long night for Arsene Wenger. The tip is for Chelsea to edge a win.
