Arsenal vs Chelsea Betting Tips: ARSENAL TO WIN

Following a fortnight of utter chaos, which saw them crash out of the Champions League quarter-finals and relinquish their lead in domestic competition, Arsenal found the strength to bounce back and briefly reclaim the summit of the Premier League with a comfortable 2-0 away victory against Wolves.

With 74 points in their pocket, the Gunners are in control of the domestic league, although they have played one match more than main title contenders Man City, who were occupied with other commitments at the weekend, managing to edge out Chelsea 1-0 at the iconic Wembley to secure a spot in the FA Cup final.

With only five fixture left on the calendar, Mikel Arteta and his team must exercise caution and sidestep any stumbling blocks as they confront the question of whether they can prolong their quest for the title in the coming seven days, bracing themselves for two London derbies against Chelsea and Spurs.

Arsenal's first stern test arrives against the Blues, whose morale is unsettled ahead of their visit to North London after falling to a late agonizing 0-1 defeat against a fatigued Man City outfit in Saturday's FA Cup semifinal, extinguishing their hopes of clinching silverware this season.

With Mauricio Pochettino set to conclude his first stint at Stamford Bridge without a single piece of silverware, Chelsea finds itself with no alternative but to secure European football through the league, and they could draw level on points with the owner of the final European ticket, Newcastle, if they claim all three points from their midweek trips.

Despite their unbeaten streak of eight consecutive top-flight contests - securing four victories and an equal number of draws - what might unsettle the West Londoners is their dismal record against top-four sides this term, as they have failed to defeat any team from that segment of the table in six clashes (D4, L2).

Spearheaded by the in-form Cole Palmer up front, Chelsea may be able to rattle the net against their city rivals, but they should depart from North London without any rewards. Arsenal, who simply cannot afford to falter, should do enough to outplay their London rivals at the Emirates, just like they did last year when they dismantled the Blues 3-1.
