The Blues are bidding to close the gap to three points in the game of the weekend in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge. 

Both Chelsea and Arsenal arrive in brilliant form off the back of big wins in the Champions League

Enzo Maresca's men trounced Barcelona 3-0 on Tuesday before Mikel Arteta masterminded a dominant 3-1 win over Harry Kane's Bayern Munich at the Emirates the following night. 

Chelsea have won their last three league games while the Gunners have won all but one of their last 13 games in all competitions.

Chelsea vs. Arsenal preview: Who will win today?

Arsenal have been close to flawless this season with their only loss coming at Anfield back in August in what now looks like the biggest false indicator for how a season might go. 

They have goals everywhere in their side even with some key absentees while they remain rock-solid at the back despite the injury to Gabriel. 

Right now, it looks like no one can stop them and a win here would be the latest sign that a first title since the Invincibles in 2004 is looming.

Chelsea vs. Arsenal  Betting, Final Score Prediction 

Arsenal's recent record at Chelsea is brilliant and we're backing them today to secure a narrow victory. 

The Blues might have beaten Barcelona at Stamford Bridge in midweek but they have lost to both Sunderland and Brighton there in the league already this season. 

A third will see them fall away from Arsenal and back into the chasing pack for a top four finish, which feels more their level right now. 

Our Score Prediction: Chelsea 1-2 Arsenal (11/2 with Bet365)
