Arsenal vs Chelsea 02.05.2023

Arsenal will be looking for a quick turnaround following their embarrassing 4-1 loss at the Etihad that for all intents and purposes put paid to their hopes of a first title since the 2003/2004 season. They were totally outclassed and bamboozled by City and the gulf in class and experience in such high-pressure situations was easy to see with the Cityzens controlling the match from start to finish. The Gunners still lead the table, two points clear of City but have played two more games meaning it’s only a matter of time before they get dislodged from the summit.

The visitors are in an even worse situation themselves. They lost 2-0 at home to Brentford in midweek, their 5th straight loss across all competitions under new manager Frank Lampard, and 6th league game without a win (2D, 4L). The Blues have been woeful and for all the talent they have, they could yet finish in the bottom half of the table given the dreary football they have exhibited particularly in this second half of the season.

With both teams desperate to get back to winning ways, we can expect a hard-fought and physical encounter here. This being a derby, tension is likely to be fever-pitch and we expect some cynical tackles here and there and bad blood between the two sides. As such we feel there is value in the cards markets and we are going for at least 5 total cards to be dished out here
