Football – England – Premier League Betting Tips
Third placed Chelsea face mid-table Arsenal in what is the pick of the Premier League fixtures over this weekend, with bragging rights in the nation’s capital as well as a valuable three points up for grabs for both sides at Stamford Bridge today.
The title holders, Chelsea, romped to a 6-0 home win over Qarabag in the Champions League during the week, which also saw Eden Hazard make a return to Chelsea’s line-up, and this could spell additional trouble for Arsenal this afternoon, whom he’d taunted in last season’s 3-0 win at the Emirates Stadium.
Chelsea’s defence of the Premier league title got off to the worst possible start as they lost 3-2 at home to Burnley, but The Blues have since bounced back to register three league wins on the trot with wins over Tottenham, Everton and Leicester City. New signing and forward, Morata has scored 3 goals to date.
Visitors Arsenal also registered a midweek win in the Europa League on Thursday night with a 3-1 home win over German side, Cologne, which was marred by crowd trouble before the match, but they could come crashing back down to earth again on Sunday afternoon against a strong and confident Chelsea outfit here.
Arsenal’s start to the new campaign could actually be cut right down the middle as they’ve gained back-to-back wins at home against Leicester City and Bournemouth, but have also lost both of their away matches so far with losses incurred at Stoke City, and an embarrassing 4-0 defeat at Anfield against Liverpool.
Another defeat to Chelsea today could well be a big blow to any slender ambitions they have of capturing a Premier League title, but perhaps even more damaging, a blow to landing a top four place in the top flight.
