A six point cushion separates the two sides after Arsenal’s loss to West Ham United in their last game while Chelsea picked a win over relegation threatened Newcastle United. For the two sides, it increasingly seems this game is reduced to the fight for a top four place but Arsenal’s run of unconvincing performances could see them drop behind sixth placed Manchester United should they drop points here. Arsenal failed to find the net in their last game, the second time that has happened in the league this season after their opening day loss to Manchester City but with the stakes in this game, we expect them to put in a bigger fight, especially after picking just two wins in their last five matches. The Gunners will be happy playing this game at home, as their away run has not been so good, with five winless outings. They have not lost a league match at home in the last 10 encounters, winning eight and drawing two. In their last 16 league matches at home, Arsenal have managed 13 wins, two draws and just a loss. Chelsea have lost just one of their last six matches and head to this game after a labored win over Newcastle United, which took their league tally to four unbeaten matches. They have won each of the last three league matches away from home and in their last 10 away league games, they have lost just two, and won seven. In the last seven matches between the two London sides, each one has won once, and four matches have ended in draws. The two sides have met 176 times and Arsenal have managed 67 wins, Chelsea 58.
