The central match of the fifth round in the EPL will of course be the London derby between Chelsea and Arsenal. The match will be very important for both teams, as both sides are fighting for the top four and wouldn’t mind getting the title. Chelsea look more interesting for now, but Arsenal have great potential as well and one should not forget that.
After four played rounds in the EPL, Chelsea managed to gain nine points. The team won three matches out of four and the only loss happened in the first round in the domestic match against Burnley. The Blues failed the first half back then, lost Cahill by the 14th minute, but didn’t stop playing, although they were losing 0:3. As a result, 2:3, and after that, there were victories over Tottenham, Everton, Leicester and Qarabag in the UCL.
Arsenal also won their match in the Eurocup against Koln with the score of 3:1. Arsene Wenger has let out to play the secondary squad, but Sanchez, Giroud, Mertesacker and Bellerin were playing from the first squad. The Gunners conceded a goal by Cordoba on the 9th minute already, but Kolasinac, Bellerin and Sanchez brought the Londoners the victory. Arsenal have only won at their home arena by now. The Red-and-Whites lost two out of two away matches: 0:1 to Stoke City and 0:4 to Liverpool.
Chelsea play very powerfully at their home ground. The team gained some decent shape, which is seen by the latest results. Arsenal, in their turn, do not impress away. The Gunners couldn’t even score a goal in the two EPL away games, losing to Stoke City and Liverpool. Conte’s team has great chances not only to gain three points, but to increase the handicap between each other even more.
Prediction for the match: Chelsea to win
