Chelsea and Arsenal will renew their rivalry on Sunday with former Gunners captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang under the microscope ahead of the big match. Will he make Arsenal regret giving him up?
Bookmaker 10bet has the odds at 3.00 for Aubameyang to come back to haunt Arsenal with a goal on Sunday.
※ Current Odds Date & Time: November 4th, 8:00 P.M. (EST)
The Gabonese star ended his stay at Arsenal in poor form, but he still managed to put together a solid scoring record for the club with 92 goals in 163 appearances. He has notched only three goals in his first 11 outings for Chelsea, but Aubameyang has looked threatening every time he’s on the pitch and there shouldn’t be a more motivated player than him on Sunday.
Chelsea will hope to extend their 12-game home unbeaten run in the match-up with Aubameyang’s goals. It’s an impressive streak, although it also must be noted that the Blues have won only one of their last 12 Premier League home games versus the Big Six clubs.
With Arsenal in superb form, Graham Potter will need his side to be at their absolute best to have hopes of improving the record. The Gunners have failed to win just two of their 12 league outings and the team is playing with extreme confidence at the minute.
Will the regained belief help Mikel Arteta’s men to a big result on Sunday? Arsenal have won just five of their last 50 league games away to their Big Six rivals. The Stamford Bridge atmosphere can be very intimidating and a young side like Arsenal might struggle to cope with it.
Getting another win on the board would allow Arsenal to send a real message of intent. Many still doubt their ability to pose a title challenge but history is certainly on Arsenal’s side. Teams that have started a season with 10 wins from 12 games have gone on to lift the Premier League title on nine occasions out of 10.
Meanwhile, a Chelsea win on Sunday could be a sign that Potter’s men are ready to re-enter the title race. The current 10-point gap with Arsenal is a big one, but there’s a chance to trim it down to seven on Sunday and a victory is bound to give a lift to a team that has already been rejuvenated following a managerial change.
