Clashes between any of the big 4 sides are always huge events & certainly this clash of Arsenal & Chelsea at the Emirates is a massively important match to both team & one that we expect to provide plenty of quality & intensity.

There can be no denying the importance of this match to both Arsenal & Chelsea and so we fully expect both teams to be desperate to win it but also desperate not to lose to one of their major title rivals.

Arsenal come into this match on the back of suffering a big blow to their title hopes & a huge blow to their confidence by losing 1-0 at Sunderland & Arsene Wenger will be desperate for Arsenal to bounce back here.

Arsenal regained winning ways in the Champions League in midweek but this is a whole different game & Arsenal will have to show real strength & determination in this fixture because they cannot afford to lose anymore ground to Chelsea in the title race.

Home form has been a key factor in Arsenal’s success this season & their impressive home record will give them massive confidence ahead of this match but nevertheless, Arsenal fully appreciate the dangers of Chelsea and they will have to be on their best form to hold Chelsea in this match.

The big problem for Arsenal in this match is the absence of key striker Robin Van Persie & that will make it tougher for Arsenal to break Chelsea’s strong & experienced defence down.

Chelsea come into this match with everything seemingly going to plan as they keep winning game after game & looking like the team that everybody else has got to aim to beat this season in all competitions.

11 wins from 13 games is Chelsea’s stunning league record so far this season & apart from those two surprise defeats at Wigan & Chelsea, they have been brilliant in every game showing a fantastic blend of strength, quality & experience that has to be admired.

Chelsea are the top scorers with 33 league goals & have the best defensive record with only 8 conceded and have had 9 clean sheets in their last 11 games which clearly indicates the massive task that Arsenal have in this match.

Arsenal do have a decent record in this fixture & they definitely have a chance on their best form but Chelsea produced a fantastic performance to win comfortably here last season & they do look a value bet to follow up that win here.
