THE PREDICTION
A late winner from Marcos Alonso saw Chelsea record an excellent 1-2 victory away at Champions League final opponents Man City last time and increased the gap between themselves and fifth-placed West Ham to six points. Thomas Tuchel’s side now head into this local derby against Arsenal seven games unbeaten in all competitions and off the back of three straight wins. The Gunners in comparison are still smarting after being knocked out of the Europa League last Thursday, however they do come into this one off the back of a 3-1 win at home to West Brom. Most impressive about Thomas Tuchel since arriving in England as Chelsea head coach has been his utilisation of the entire Chelsea squad, whilst ensuring that the extremely high standard of whatever first XI he chooses to field rarely drops. With a team full of confidence and stronger in all-round quality compared to Arsenal, Chelsea are expected to maintain an unbeaten Premier League home record against the Gunners that stretches back to October 2011 by securing victory here.
