League leaders Arsenal welcome London rivals Chelsea to the Emirates on Sunday afternoon, as they look to extend their lead at the top of the pile.
Arsenal have had a fantastic season and are looking to hold their nerve at the top and win the Premier League title. They are unbeaten in 19 of their last 20 matches.
Chelsea are in the hunt for the top four, just three points behind Man United who currently occupy fourth position. They have lost only one of their last 10.

Arsenal vs Chelsea Predictions
- Arsenal to win (3/5)
- Cole Palmer over 0.5 shots on target (5/6)
- Viktor Gyokeres over 0.5 shots on target (1/2)
- Moises Caicedo to be booked (15/8)
BEST BET BUILDER TIP – Arsenal to win @ 3/5
I think Arsenal will overcome Chelsea this Sunday at the Emirates. The Gunners have beaten Chelsea twice already this season, with two wins in the Carabao Cup semi-final across two legs, and there was a draw between the two in the league back in November. I think there will be a repeat of that outcome this weekend, as Arsenal look to extend their unbeaten run to nine matches.
Cole Palmer over 0.5 shots on target (5/6)
Cole Palmer would like to hit the higher heights we all know he’s capable of, but he has found some decent form of late. This season, he has bagged nine goals, eight in 16 league appearances and one in two in the Champions League. In those 16 league appearances, he has had 16 shots on target, an average of exactly shots on target per game. This game will have plenty of action at both ends, and there’s a good chance he will have at least one shot on target here.
Viktor Gyokeres over 0.5 shots on target (1/2)
Viktor Gyokeres is the second player I think will have a shot on target, at odds of 1/2. The Swede has scored 15 goals in all competitions since joining Arsenal last summer, with 10 in his 26 league appearances. That’s a decent return, and he will be looking to add to it this weekend. He has had a total of 41 shots in the league, with 16 of them being on target. He bagged two last time out against Spurs in the North London Derby, so will be full of confidence. I think there’s a good chance of him having at least one shot on target.
ALTERNATIVE BET – Viktor Gyokeres to score @ 11/8
Taking Gyokeres to score his third in two games is good odds at 11/8, increasing the odds of this bet builder to 14/1 with Bet 365. He has scored one against Chelsea this season – the second in a 2-3 victory – and I think there’s a chance he could get another here.
Moises Caicedo to be booked (15/8)
Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo has been carded 13 times in all competitions, with nine yellow cards one one red card in the Premier League, one in the Champions League and two in the Carabao Cup. He has made 34 fouls in his 22 Premier League appearances, an average well above one per game. This one will be a physical battle, and at 15/8, he’s good odds to pick up his 14th card this season.
