Prediction

Both teams had European matches midweek, but their opponents were relatively weak and did not pose much of a challenge. It is clear that both sides have shifted their focus to this crucial showdown. Arsenal were held to a frustrating draw against Manchester United in the last round and are eager to end their winless streak at home. Meanwhile, Chelsea have struggled on the road, suffering four consecutive away defeats in domestic competitions. Considering the handicap, Arsenal have a higher chance of winning.

Pick: Arsenal -0.5 (bet365)
