Current streaks

Recent form

Chelsea

Chelsea's recent form has been somewhat inconsistent, with two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six matches. Despite this mixed run, they currently sit in a respectable 4th position in the league table with 18 points from 10 games. The Blues have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, particularly their 4-1 victory over Panathinaikos in the Europa Conference League. Defensively, Chelsea have struggled to keep clean sheets, with their current streak of 8 games without one being a concern. Their goal-scoring record is decent, averaging 1.5 goals per game, but they're also conceding at a rate of 1.33 per match. Interestingly, both teams have scored in 83% of Chelsea's recent matches, suggesting their games are often entertaining affairs for neutrals. The even split between matches going over and under 2.5 goals indicates a balance between tight contests and more open encounters.

Arsenal

Arsenal's recent form has been patchy, with the Gunners struggling to find consistency. They are currently on a concerning run of three defeats in their last four matches across all competitions, including back-to-back 1-0 losses to Inter Milan and Newcastle United. Despite their fifth-place position in the league, Arsenal have been struggling for goals, netting just six times in their last six games, with a low average of one goal per match. Defensively, they have been relatively solid, conceding the same number of goals as they've scored and keeping two clean sheets. The majority of Arsenal's recent matches have been low-scoring affairs, with 67% of their last six games featuring under 2.5 goals. Interestingly, both teams have scored in only 17% of these fixtures, suggesting tight, cagey encounters. Their most impressive result in this run was a 3-0 victory over Preston in the League Cup, which stands out as their highest-scoring game in this period.

Recent home/away form

Chelsea

Chelsea have been in impressive form at Stamford Bridge, remaining unbeaten in their last six home matches across all competitions. The Blues have won four of these fixtures, including a high-scoring 4-2 victory over Brighton and a 5-0 thrashing of Barrow in the League Cup. Their attacking prowess is evident, with Chelsea netting 17 goals in these six games, averaging an impressive 2.83 goals per match. Defensively, they've been relatively solid, conceding just over a goal per game. The team's ability to produce entertaining football is highlighted by the fact that 67% of these matches have seen over 2.5 goals, with both teams scoring in 83% of the games. Despite their strong form, Chelsea have been held to draws twice in this period, suggesting there's still room for improvement as they push for a higher league position.

Arsenal

Arsenal's recent away form has been concerning, with the Gunners struggling to find consistency on their travels. The team are currently on a three-match losing streak away from home, having fallen to defeats against Inter Milan, Newcastle United, and Bournemouth. Their last away victory came in the League Cup against Preston, where they secured a comfortable 3-0 win. However, this positive result stands out as an anomaly in an otherwise disappointing run. Arsenal have managed just one win in their last six away matches, drawing twice and losing three times. Their goal-scoring record has been particularly poor, with the team netting only 5 goals in these 6 matches, averaging less than a goal per game. Defensively, they've been somewhat more solid, conceding 6 goals and keeping 2 clean sheets. The majority of Arsenal's away matches (67%) have seen fewer than 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards low-scoring affairs on the road.
