Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea

Current streaks

Recent form

Arsenal

Arsenal's recent form has been mixed, with the Gunners showing both promise and inconsistency. In their last six matches, they have managed two wins, three draws, and one loss, indicating a struggle to maintain consistent results. A standout performance came in their Champions League clash against PSV Eindhoven, where Arsenal displayed their attacking prowess with a remarkable 7-1 victory away from home. However, this high-scoring game was followed by two consecutive draws, suggesting a dip in form. The team's defensive record has been relatively solid, conceding only 0.83 goals per game and keeping two clean sheets in their last six matches. Interestingly, 67% of Arsenal's recent games have seen under 2.5 goals, highlighting a trend towards tighter, lower-scoring encounters. Despite their mixed form, Arsenal remain in a strong position in the Premier League, sitting second with 55 points from 28 games.

Chelsea

Chelsea have shown a remarkable turnaround in form, winning their last three matches across all competitions after a worrying run of three consecutive defeats. Their recent 4-0 victory over Southampton stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair, demonstrating their attacking prowess. The Blues have been involved in some goal-heavy encounters, with 83% of their last six matches seeing over 2.5 goals scored. Despite their mixed form, Chelsea have maintained a respectable 4th position in the league table, suggesting resilience in their overall campaign. Their defensive record has improved recently, keeping two clean sheets in their last three matches, which could be crucial as they push for a strong finish to the season. The team's ability to bounce back from adversity is evident, as they've managed to overcome a difficult period and regain momentum in both domestic and European competitions.

Recent home/away form

Arsenal

Arsenal have shown mixed form at home recently, with three wins, two draws, and one loss in their last six matches at the Emirates. The Gunners have been prolific in front of goal, scoring an impressive 14 times at an average of 2.33 goals per game, including a standout 5-1 victory over Manchester City. Defensively, they've been somewhat vulnerable, conceding in five of the six matches and keeping only one clean sheet. The matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 83% of games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in 67% of the fixtures. Despite the recent loss to West Ham, Arsenal have generally been strong at home, as evidenced by their second-place position in the league table with 55 points from 28 games.

Chelsea

Chelsea's recent away form has been concerning, with the Blues enduring a challenging spell on the road. The Stamford Bridge outfit have experienced a notable run of four consecutive away defeats across all competitions before their recent Europa Conference League victory against FC Copenhagen. During this difficult period, Chelsea have struggled defensively, conceding an average of two goals per game in their last six away matches and failing to keep a single clean sheet. The high-scoring nature of their away fixtures is evident, with 83% of these games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams finding the net. Particularly worrying for Chelsea supporters will be the 3-0 loss to Brighton in the Premier League, which stands out as their heaviest defeat in this run. Despite their recent struggles, Chelsea's away win in Europe may provide a glimmer of hope for a potential turnaround in their Premier League fortunes.
