Following their big 4-1 loss to Manchester City, Arsenal is without a win in four consecutive league outings, but they are just one point behind Pep Guardiola’s men and can still make it a proper title fight if they get back on track Tuesday and string together a run of victories.
This fixture has been very kind for the Gunners in recent seasons as Mikel Arteta’s team has won five of the last six head-to-head clashes across all competitions. Gabriel Magalhaes delivered a 1-0 victory in the first meeting this season, and Arsenal now aims to beat Chelsea in three consecutive league games for the first time since 2004.
Chelsea heads into the big match off the back of an eight-game run without a victory. The managerial merry-go-round has had an awful effect on the team and Frank Lampard has lost all five games he’s been in charge.
The Blues have more losses (13) than wins (10) for the campaign and also have conceded more goals (35) than they have scored (30). Based on their form, Lampard’s men should be seen as huge underdogs for Tuesday’s game, but there’s still some world-class talent in the squad and derbies often tend to throw out unexpected results.
The team has scored just three times during its awful eight-game spell, but will Arsenal’s shocking defensive record finally give Chelsea’s attack the push it needs? Arteta has seen his side concede a whopping 11 goals in the past four games.
Defense wins you championships and Arsenal’s back-line clearly hasn’t done enough to stay in contention for the Premier League crown. However, there are still a few more games left until the end of the season and Arsenal has to be ready to take advantage of any slip-ups Man City might have. But the team badly needs to regain confidence with a big result Tuesday night.
