Chelsea vs Arsenal Preview

Chelsea vs Arsenal

Competition – Carabao Cup

Stadium – Stamford Bridge

Date: 10th January 2018

Kick-off time – 20:00 GMT

Chelsea were disappointed by their failure to see off Norwich in the Carabao Cup over the weekend as that draw means another match will be added to an already tight fixture schedule for Antonio Conte’s men.

They faced the Gunners in their last league game and a horror show from Alvaro Morata meant they dropped 2 points to finish the game in a 2-2 draw.

Despite their recent setbacks, Conte’s men are currently on a good run of form and remain unbeaten in their last 8 competitive games with 5 of those matches ending in wins for them.

At home, they are on a run of 11 games without tasting defeat and 9 of those matches have ended in wins.

This form coupled with Arsenal’s upsetting loss to Nottingham Forest at the weekend should boost their morale ahead of this match.

Arsene Wenger’s side suffered yet another setback at the weekend as his team lost 4-2 to a Nottingham side struggling in the Championship.

That loss means they are winless in three competitive games, remain 6th in the league table and are out of the FA Cup.

This season cannot get any worse than this for them and they are in danger of failing to qualify for the Champions League again.

Away from home, they have been dreadful with just 5 wins in 15 travels which includes humiliating losses at Liverpool and Manchester City.

In their last six meetings, they have won once, drawn four times and lost once against Chelsea.
