Chelsea’s bizarre struggles
Chelsea’s season has been one heck of a roller coaster so far. Through all the ups and downs, through the new managers, injuries, financial woes and more, they’ve still managed to find themselves in the top five of the Premier League. They are unbeaten in their last 10 matches across all competitions, and have been one of the more consistent sides for goals.
There’s two weird things about them, though.
First, they can’t keep a lead to save their lives. They’ve dropped 19 points this season already from winning positions, and have allowed clubs like Leeds and Burnley to come back and take points off them. They also have the most red cards in the league, including one when they played Arsenal back in November. While they’re in form, I worry about them playing against the Gunners needing points.

The fourth meeting of the season
Every club in the Premier League will play each other at least twice per season. Arsenal and Chelsea, however, have already met three times before this fixture. They met in the reverse fixture at Chelsea, which ended 1-1, and they played in the EFL Cup Semi-Final, where Arsenal won 3-2 and 1-0. When you have to play the same opponent over and over in a season, it gives us more data to look through and provide better examples.
One thing we have consistently seen is that Arsenal knows how to frustrate this Chelsea side. Chelsea are struggling defensively and are struggling to keep leads. I think they’ll press hard against Arsenal knowing they’ll concede, so we should see another high-scoring win for the hosts.
