The two most successful London clubs face each other at the famous "Stamford Bridge". The defending champions of Europe will welcome the Gunners at home, after beating them 2-0 on a visit at the beginning of the season. The Blues have won their last two matches vs. Arsenal, 2-0 and 2-1. Arsenal's recent form isn't promising, as the guests continue a three-game losing streak. They are coming from a 0-1 defeat against Southampton, and this will be their second consecutive away game. Most likely exhausted, and troubled by injuries, I doubt we will see the visiting team getting any points in the upcoming clash.
The hosts go into the game without Mateo Kovacic, Ben Chilwell, and Callum Hudson-Odoi. Still, these absences won't hurt the hosts' chances of winning, considering their great squad depth. Meanwhile, things are a bit worse on the other side, as Arsenal misses Thomas Partey, Alexandre Lacazette, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Kieran Tierney. Those players are crucial for the visiting side, and it will be a tough ninety minutes without those in the starting eleven.
Arsenal has been poor while playing on the road this season, losing seven out of the team's fifteen league visits. They are on a two-game losing away streak, beaten 0-3 by Crystal Palace, followed by the already-mentioned 0-1 loss to Southampton. Contrary to the Gunners, Chelsea is in solid shape recently, just coming from a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace. The hosts beat Southampton 6-0 on a visit, and were persuasive enough to beat Real Madrid 3-1 away from home in the Champions League. Sadly, that wasn't enough for Thomas Tuchel to advance to the UCL semi-finals, leaving them with no hope for a back-to-back UCL trophy.
I expect the hosts to have a decent performance, and to leave the pitch as the winner in the upcoming game. Good luck!
伦敦最成功的两家球队在著名的“斯坦福桥”相遇。欧冠卫冕冠军将在本赛季初以 2-0 击败枪手后,在主场迎接对手。蓝军在最近两场对阵阿森纳的比赛中均以 2-0 和 2-1 获胜。阿森纳最近的状态并不乐观,遭遇三连败。他们以0-1输给南安普顿,这将是他们连续第二场客场比赛。很可能筋疲力尽,并且受到伤病的困扰,在即将到来的比赛中可能无法获得任何积分。
切尔西缺少 Mateo Kovacic、Ben Chilwell 和 Callum Hudson-Odoi。尽管如此,考虑到他们强大的阵容深度,这些缺席不会影响他们获胜的机会。阿森纳的情况更糟,缺少了了托马斯·帕蒂、亚历山大·拉卡泽特、富康武宏和基兰·蒂尔尼。这些球员对客队至关重要,如果没有这些球员,将是艰难的 90 分钟。
阿森纳本赛季在客场比赛中表现不佳,在十五场比赛中输掉了七场。他们在客场连续两连败,0-3不敌水晶宫,随后就是已经提到的0-1负于南安普顿。与枪手相反,切尔西最近状态稳定,刚刚以 2-0 战胜水晶宫。客场6-0击败南安普顿,欧冠客场3-1击败皇马。可惜的是,这还不足以让他们晋级欧冠半决赛,让他们无疑卫冕。
我预测主队有出色的表现,并在即将到来的比赛中拿到胜利。祝好运!
