Surprisingly, Chelsea comes in as a slight favorite at home against the Gunners, who sit alone atop the Premier League table, two points clear of Manchester City.
There is a solid lean toward both clubs reaching the back of the net, which may seem like a safe bet at first glance. However, Arsenal have fielded a strong defense this season, which will make it difficult for the Blues.
Chelsea vs Arsenal Prediction
Chelsea 1-2 Arsenal
Regardless of the current form of each side, this London Derby showdown will likely be a tightly contested battle due to the nature of the contest. However, Chelsea are dealing with some critical injuries on defense which will be challenging to overcome.
The Gunners' attack has been well-balanced all season, with Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli finding the back of the bet five times each, while Bukayo Saka and Martin Ødegaard have scored four goals, as well.
Overall, Arsenal have scored 30 goals in just 12 Premier League matches.
The Blues will have the advantage of playing at Stamford Bridge, but their inconsistent form (17 goals with 15 conceded) will not be enough to stop Arsenal, who scored five goals in their last EPL match against Nottingham Forest.
Chelsea is 13th in expected goals this season, behind Leeds United and Aston Villa. Meanwhile, the Gunners just collected their fifth clean sheet and will be on the hunt for a statement win on their rivals' home turf.
