Arsenal have not won a league game at Stamford Bridge in six years.
They will cling to the success gained against Antonio Conte’s side in the FA Cup final, and the Community Shield, but will surely find this a more daunting assignment.
Chelsea have quietly been building up a head of steam, and they eased beyond Qarabag in midweek with key players rested and an eye on this derby. Conte will consider this an opportunity to make a statement in terms of his side’s title defence.
Joy Sports Gary Al-Smith and match analyst Nii Akwei have a go at this game, which kicks off at 12:30GMT on Sunday. In summary, they expect:
âš½ Narrow Chelsea win (Gary)
âš½ Both teams to score, but Chelsea to win (Gary)
âš½ Morata to score in Chelsea 2-0 win is a good tip
âš½ Draw or Arsenal win (Nii Akwei)
âš½ Under 2.5 match goals a good tip
âš½ Morata to score at anytime very likely
