Looking to make it back-to-back Premier League victories this weekend, Chelsea will make the trip across London to struggling local rivals Arsenal on Saturday evening.

Starting with the hosts, hit with another dreadful defeat on EFL Cup duties earlier in the week, Arsenal are firmly in the midst of a real crisis. In their 14 Premier League matchups so far this season, the Gunners have mustered just four wins, two draws and eight defeats, scoring 12 and conceding 18 in return. Managing to muster just a points tally of 14, they open Christmas Day sat way down in 15th and already seven points adrift of breaking into the top-half of the table. As for their recent run of results, hit with a 4-1 drumming at the hands of Manchester City earlier in the week, Arsenal have now failed to win any of their last eight domestic matchups on the bounce. More worrying for Saturday’s hosts, they have failed to win any of their last five Premier League matchups on home soil, collecting just a single point.

As for the visitors, managing to make a return to winning ways earlier in the week, Chelsea still have their sights firmly set on securing another Champions League finish this year. In their 14 Premier League contests so far this season, they have recorded seven wins, four draws and three defeats, scoring 29 and conceding 14 in return. Collecting a points tally of 25 and opening this weekend’s fixtures sat just a single point adrift of breaking back into the top-four, it should also be noted that Chelsea hold the second-best attacking record in the division. As for their recent run of results, despite suffering back-to-back Premier League defeats on the road, Saturday’s guests did manage to land a 3-0 romp against local rivals West Ham in midweek. With three of Chelsea’s last four top-flight contests seeing over 2.5 goals by the final whistle, we’re backing a similar outcome this weekend.
