Football Predictions
Winless Frank Lampard takes his struggling Chelsea side to the Emirates for a clash against Arsenal on Tuesday.
Arsenal is still at the top of the league table at the moment but has not been at its best in recent weeks. The Gunners slumped to a damaging 4-1 defeat at the hands of title rivals Manchester City in their previous game and have a point to prove this week if they are still to pile pressure on City who have games in hand over them. Mikel Arteta insisted that the title race is not over yet and he has less options in not winning the remaining games if he is to stand a chance.
Chelsea on the other hand are currently in 12th place in the Premier League standings and have struggled to meet expectations this season. The away side slumped to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Brentford over the weekend and will need to work hard to bounce back in this fixture.
H2H/Stats
In the meeting between the two, Arsenal has won 82 games to Chelsea’s 66 with 58 games ending in draws.
Recent meetings:
29/04/23: Arsenal 0-0 Chelsea

Team News
There are some expectations that Mikel Arteta will change his team when Chelsea calls on Tuesday. While they will still be without the services of defender William Saliba, Leandro Trossard could come back into the team.
For Chelsea, Reece James and Mason Mount, two key players for Chelsea, have been ruled out for the remainder of the season due to hamstring and abdominal injuries, respectively. The team will also be without the services of Kai Havertz, Armando Broja, and Kalidou Koulibaly, who are all currently recovering from injuries.
Arsenal XI: Ramsdale; Ben White, Gabriel, Holding, Zinchenko; Partey, Odegaard, Xhaka; Martinelli, Trossard, Bukayo Saka
Chelsea XI: Kepa; Azpilicueta, W. Fofana, Silva, Chilwell; Kante, Fernandez, Kovacic; Mudryk, Felix, Sterling
Verdict
Arsenal has never lost a single midweek game against Chelsea, with four wins and six draws in the ten-midweek fixture between the two sides. In their 16 outings as their home venue this season, Arsenal have remained goalless in only one encounter which came in a 0-0 draw against Newcastle and there is no reason why they shouldn’t beat Chelsea considering they still feel they can win the title; this added to the troubles the Blues are going through this season.
Verdict: Arsenal win✅

Gabriel Martinelli❌
The young Brazilian winger who is in his fourth season with Arsenal, has been a vital cog in the club’s title-chasing season. He has been a main figure in a season that has already bore Champions League fruits as the Gunners will be part of the European elites next season.
Martinelli is leading the scoring charts for Arsenal with 15 league goals while also delivering five assists and with the disjointed Chelsea defense, he would like to fancy his chances in adding to this tally.
Martin Odegaard✅
The Norwegian is another important player for Arsenal, with 12 goals and eight assists. The club captain has been a focal point in the Gunners midfield and while his performances have been questioned of late by the club fans, he would want to show why he is still one of the most coveted players in the team.
Bukayo Saka❌
The list cant be complete without the mention of Saka who has 13 goals and 11 assists for Arsenal. This will be a home game and this is another time to make their fans happy.
