| At Stamford Bridge, the second-placed Chelsea accept league leaders Arsenal. The Blues have won five of their last six matches and celebrated a flawless 3-0 victory against Barcelona in the Champions League during the week. The Gunners are now unbeaten in 16 matches, securing 14 wins and prevailing in the midweek clash against Bayern Munich, further underlining their brilliant form. They have scored twice in each of their last six competitive matches and in six of their last seven away games. Chelsea enters the derby against Arsenal with a poor record. The Blues have won only one of their last eleven Premier League matches against the Gunners, with three draws and seven losses and are winless in their last seven encounters. Arsenal are unbeaten in six matches at Stamford Bridge. This season, Chelsea are scoring regularly. They've opened the scoring in each of their last seven league matches, their longest run since April last year although that streak ended with a 0-5 defeat against Arsenal. Individually, Pedro Neto is in excellent form. He's been involved in five goals in his last five Premier League appearances and could score in three consecutive league games for the first time. Furthermore, he's been directly involved in three goals in four starts against Arsenal. Odegaard from the guests squad is in similiar form and we should expect from him to be involved in attack today as well. |
