Arsenal vs Chelsea: Prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, odds

Arsenal can go four points clear of Manchester City if they come through a London derby with Chelsea this week victorious.

While it felt as if Mikel Arteta’s side had ceded control in the Premier League title race following the loss to Aston Villa earlier this month, the Gunners can pile pressure on the chasing champions.

Their victory at Wolves was a great response to the Villa defeat, as well as their Champions League exit at the hands of Bayern Munich.

Though it’s difficult to look past City given their slight advantage in the race, Arsenal must not fall away in the dying embers of what has been another strong campaign.

The Blues, meanwhile, can now only qualify for Europe by way of Premier League finish.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side ran out 6-0 winners over Everton last week before impressing to some degree in their FA Cup semi-final loss to City at Wembley on Saturday.

Cutting edge, however, remains a problem.

Here’s everything you need to know about the game.

Arsenal vs Chelsea is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off time on Tuesday 23 April, 2024.

Arsenal vs Chelsea prediction

The Gunners proved their fighting spirit against Wolves and Chelsea lack such a cutting edge, it’s difficult to see them overcoming one of the best defences in Europe this season.

Arsenal to win 2-0.
