Chelsea vs Arsenal Preview

Chelsea host Arsenal hoping to get back to form after their 1-0 loss to Newcastle last time out.

The Blues were guilty of not taking their chances in that game and they ultimately paid the price when Newcastle scored a late winner through Isaac Hayden.

Arsenal were also left frustrated after Sheffield United equalized late to steal a point from them at the Emirates.

Mikel Arteta is still looking for his second goal as Arsenal’s manager and he would be motivated to avenge their frustrating 2-1 loss to the Blues in the reverse fixture.

Both of these teams are actively chasing a top-four place but Chelsea is still in the top four while Arsenal is a long way down the league table.

The Blues have been struggling at home recently as they have lost three and won just two of their last five home league games.

Arsenal has traditionally struggled at Stamford Bridge and they come here having not won a game there since 2011.  They have also lost six and drew one of their last seven visits here and it will be interesting to see how they fair here again.
