Arsenal vs Chelsea Match Preview and Team News
Arsenal
Arsenal fans are facing a rather different kind of festive period. They are down in 15th place in the table and are desperate to get a home win over fourth-placed Chelsea. The Gunners are usually talking of winning the title or at least qualifying for the Champions League. Now they are wondering if next season could see them playing league games against Barnsley and QPR. Arsenal is only four points above the relegation zone and has to upcoming games against sides below them. Usually, Arsenal can depend on their home league form but not this season. They have the 16th best home record in the Premier League with just two wins in seven games and four defeats. Not only that, but they lost 4-1 at home to Manchester City in the EFL Cup in midweek. Their last home league victory was against bottom-of-the-table Sheffield United. The only one of their previous five home league fixtures at the Emirates that wasn’t lost was the 1-1 draw with Southampton. The collapse of their home form is a big surprise, and it’s usually on their travels that they struggle. Arsenal had won nine out of 11 home league games before this run of four losses and a draw. Nicolas Pepe showed why he was brought in, he has good dribbling, speed is his advantage, he is the starter in every game, and last season he scored several important goals. Ainsley Maitland-Niles shows her talent and should be one of the leading players in the future.
Chelsea
Chelsea had been unbeaten in their first five away league games of the season with 11 points earned. However, the last two have seen them lose at Everton and Wolves. They bounced back to form with a 3-0 home win over West Ham United on Monday. That took them to fifth, a point behind Everton in fourth, and six behind leaders Liverpool. Three times this season, Chelsea have scored three goals in their away league matches. They don’t have a great record when visiting Arsenal in the Premier League. Only two of the last seven have been won. Last year saw an improvement, though, with an away win and home draw. Both teams have scored in five of the last six matches played between these two clubs in all competitions and four of the previous five in the Premier League. Christian Pulisic plays fantastic and creates a lot of problems for the opponent’s defense. Many teams are ready to give a fortune for the arrival of this guy. Timo Werner is a tremendous player, and in the one-on-one game, he is unstoppable.
