Arsenal - Chelsea is definitely the biggest game of the week. 

Chelsea are given quite high odds for the win - 4.40. Bookies underestimate them too much seemingly. I don't know if it's a good thing to take Arsenal win for granted that much here.

Yeah, maybe Chelsea haven't been in their best mood but they are healing lately. Arsenal's recent form in the PL isn't much different also. I want to believe in my beloved Chelsea to steal some points from them. 

This match will be full of tension because both teams are aiming for victory, especially Chelsea who are trying to stay in the top four. The chances of winning given to Chelsea are very reasonable, they are in high confidence after successfully returning to the UCL zone and have just managed to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Conference League, while the Arsenal squad is limping due to several of their goal machines being injured.
However, it should be underlined that Arsenal is not an easy team to beat, especially given their status as hosts.

Tough game to come in the coming weekend when Arsenal will meet Chelsea in a London derby match. Arsenal who shared points with Manchester United in the previous weekend will want to get a win out of these game and we know how competitive the London Derbies always are

An interesting thing about this game is that Chelsea this season are yet to win one of the big teams in the league, lost to Liverpool, same to Manchester City and even draw Manchester United. If they can't get a better result from this arsenal team, then it only means that they are still a weak team that don't have what it takes to even think of themselves a potential title contender even in the coming season. Arsenal has a big game to play against Madrid and they will see this as an avenue of showing that they are the big deal that are actually above the standard of Chelsea. Even after watching the way Chelsea played at the conference league and how the performance of Palmer has become really bad, we can't really expect much from him except Jackson returns from injury and get featured in that game which will make a lot of difference in the way Chelsea approach that game.

From a neutral point of view, this is a simple game for arsenal and anything that makes Chelsea get a win or a draw in this game will be considered that they are just lucky.

[Altryist]

I think, in this match no team is favorite and I will see this match being neutral because you are fan of Manchester City full strength football team and that is the reason you are talking about win of Manchester City football team.  That match will be organize in the Etihad Stadium and there are also chances of draw match . But in this match,most of the beters will bet on Manchester City football team and Brighton team has more chances because nobody is taking about their strengths and weaknesses.Manchester City football team is present at the upper position as comparison to Brighton football team but it doesn't mean Brighton team is weak than Football team and Brighton could not win this match.

The Nottingham game showed that City are still weak and can be beaten, and Brighton are quite capable of doing so even at the Etihad. Sometimes City have good games, when the City attack can show a good game, but more often than not, things are difficult for them. I hope that City can win, but I would not bet on this game, Guardeola still has work to do to get the new players to adapt to the team, and I also think that City will have new transfers in the summer.

Arsenal and Chelsea always end in a draw in the past years, but with the current situation one we agree that Arsenal is much better than Chelsea, and are favorite to win at  home against Chelsea who is struggling for top four spot. That is why it will be tough game, both team wants to win, Arsenal would like to will to close the gap between them and the league leader Liverpool. Chelsea has been out of form recently and they have Euro game at hand today, so they will be unfit for the match on sunday with this current form.

 Arsenal will win so stake on Arsenal, GG will play too, Chelsea will score a goal, its gonna be a super Sunday this weekend. London Rivalry game.

I don't think the match will end in a draw. Although both teams have been inconsistent, I think Arsenal still have an upper hand as the game will be played on their turf. That said, considering Arsenam’s home advantage and Chelsea's struggles, betting on Arsenal to win seems like a reasonable choice, however with Chelsea's unpredictability it could still be a competitive match.

The good thing about Chelsea when considering them on your bet against a big club is that you can sense inconsistent ability to face off opponent unlike Arsenal that can put on tough performance, Chelsea is less likely competent to deliver in that game, home advantage to be included, i give credit to Arsenal to make the points available, Chelsea will have a hard time defending, they may get the game advantage but still unable to cover up the points, a draw might be possible but to pick singly Arsenal has to be the main pick.

Between the two of them Chelsea is the team that does more of what you think Arsenal usually do to big teams, you can verify this by visiting those big teams they had played against before, I love Chelsea more on that because if Arsenal manage the way Chelsea is managing not only with the big teams make them useless but also minor teams. However Arsenal and Chelsea has been made on each other three days from today on this March on the beloved Emirates Stadium of Arsenal and I sense Manchester United game with them on this particular one with Chelsea because draw has the highest visibility.

Tough game to come in the coming weekend when Arsenal will meet Chelsea in a London derby match. Arsenal who shared points with Manchester United in the previous weekend will want to get a win out of these game and we know how competitive the London Derbies always are. I will be rooting for Arsenal to conquer Chelsea in this fixture because Chelsea have not been so good and stable whereas Arsenal have a better advantage over Chelsea even without a striker.

Arsenal lost the opportunity to continue to pressure Liverpool after they drew 1-1 against Manchester United earlier, although there is no longer hope to catch Liverpool but victory over chelsea absolutely must get them in the London derby match later, currently arsenal's only chance is to maintain second place in the standings and the match against chelsea will certainly be a test for them, As well as chelsea who are currently ambitious to rise and secure champions league tickets, of course they will try to put pressure on arsenal at emirates later, if must to choose which team will win in the london derby later, I personally also will choose arsenal to win, because so far cooperation and chemistry owned by arsenal is clearly better than the chelsea squad which is still fairly inconsistent on their game.

They're both good London teams but one starts well, make their fans feel it's their time to win the league then end up bottling it without any trophy and is been going on consecutively for the past 3 seasons, while the other starts well, drop form at some point then pick up towards the end of the season but finish in or close to a good position, that's just the difference between Arsenal and Chelsea. Anyways its going to be a tough one cause it's a London Derby and we all know how tough England derbies are, well from the performance of Arsenal against Manchester United last week I doubt if they beat Chelsea if they do same, the both teams have something in common, they're lacking a top 9, well let's see which team would be better without a top 9 Arsenal has an advantage playing at home though and if they lose then the league is Liverpool's already.

I think, in this match no team is favorite and I will see this match being neutral because you are fan of Manchester City full strength football team and that is the reason you are talking about win of Manchester City football team.  That match will be organize in the Etihad Stadium and there are also chances of draw match .

In your opinion I also agree that no team in this match is favorites, that is, we will not put any team ahead in this match. At present, Manchester City and Brighton are moving forward in equal rhythm. Also, as you mentioned, you are a fan of Manchester City's full strength team, we would expect them to play with a full strength team against Brighton because none of their team's players are injured anymore. So we can be worry free from this point of view.

But in this match,most of the beters will bet on Manchester City football team and Brighton team has more chances because nobody is taking about their strengths and weaknesses.Manchester City football team is present at the upper position as comparison to Brighton football team but it doesn't mean Brighton team is weak than Football team and Brighton could not win this match.

Based on your prediction, it seems that you want to give Brighton the highest priority. In fact, the two teams will play well in this match, so it is a personal decision that he will bet on a team. Manchester City have won three matches on Head -Two Records, while Brighton Football Club has won just one match.

Manchester United are a sleeping lion, their performance is really inconsistent.

it is really heartbreaking to see a team as big as Manchester United struggling in 14th place, the thing that really worries me is that Manchester United will fall so far that they will be relegated from the Premier League.

Their performance in the European league is also not that good, in the second leg it looks like they will lose, I am very skeptical about Manchester United's current performance.

This is where they finished the last season.




Now even if they win all of their remaining games they are barely reaching over 60 points. This is even the best case scenario and kind of not very possible logically.    At least with this performance.

I really liked them yesterday. They owned Real Sociedad at Old Trafford and got a resounding 4-1 win. The red card was also a good help in that but anyway... Now I wonder what they will do back in the PL. I'm still thinking like they will continue to get inconsistent results.

Arsenal and Chelsea have been performing well this season so it goes without saying that the match will undoubtedly be very competitive when these two well-performing teams take on each other. Arsenal are in a better position than Chelsea at the moment. In the second position of the points table we see Arsenal who have 55 points on the other hand in the fourth position of the points table we see Chelsea who have 49 points. However, before entering this match, it is good news for Arsenal that they have not lost any match against Chelsea in the last five matches, instead, they have won three of the last five matches by a big margin, while Arsenal have drawn in two matches. Since past statistics are always in Arsenal's favor, if any team has a chance to win this match, Arsenal will definitely be ahead in that direction.

Is obvious that there performance in the EPL is always different from that of Europa league so i won't doubt it If you said that they will continue to get inconsistent results but I think this can only happen in the EPL not in Europa, because with the look of things I think manchester united is trying to maintain the unbeaten record till the final stage of the Europa. Because they have not been defeated ever since they started this Europa.

[jstyler]

I was also thinking that maybe Man Utd's inconsistent EPL form is a result of them saving energy for the Europa League, they've been playing some decent football and the unbeaten run is starting to get some momentum, but we'll see how it pans out, Europa's a different beast and they might just get caught out, still, a 4-1 win over Real Sociedad was a great performance, let's see if they can carry it into the PL"

This is a London Derby and no team would agree for each other to win, however Arsenal is in a better position and in a greater form to win this game, if they manage their chances very well and cooperate as a team, But Chelsea would greatly enjoy a victory in this game as a maximum of points from thise match will keep them firm in their current position in the premier league table and would increase their chances of qualifying for the next seasons champions league.

Yep, although for now the actual competition for the trophy is quite far away but Arsenal also definitely don't want to lose their momentum and let go of the current position so 3 points is what they have to aim for especially this match against Chelsea where prestige is certainly always created in this derby because besides Tottenham, Chelsea is another club for the London derby for Arsenal.

On the other hand, Chelsea also need 3 points to still be able to put themselves in the top 4 especially at this time their points are still not safe because Manchester City are still sticking especially at this time Manchester City's focus is only on the EPL.

Arsenal have the advantage of playing home in this match but it cannot be denied that in the last 3 matches they have had problems in terms of performance so this could make the situation more difficult than imagined but it is likely that there are several players recovering from injuries that they can play again in this match including Martinelli who is rumored to be fit enough to take part in the match.

I don't think they are capable of winning their remaining ten games for having good end of their season because in last 8 games they won 2 with 3 loses and 3 draws mean too much work still to done for keeping things on level.

Their coming games are having the toughest opponents as well with Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United and Bournemouth all are away games which are surely not easy for them to grab all points while their performance has never been consistent best chance is giving their best in Europa Cup which is looking good realistic chance. They are 8 points behind from 10th spotted Fulham with this level of performance if they are able to touch this it's also going to be good end of their season with new worst level is surely going to be waiting for them.

For them the premier league is over and they cannot go up or down and now the only focus they have is europe league and try and win it to secure the champions league spot. In premier league you never know with them they are so hot and cold while in europe league they are doing really good so far.

[koang]

Is obvious that there performance in the EPL is always different from that of Europa league so i won't doubt it If you said that they will continue to get inconsistent results but I think this can only happen in the EPL not in Europa, because with the look of things I think manchester united is trying to maintain the unbeaten record till the final stage of the Europa. Because they have not been defeated ever since they started this Europa.

Yep. Manchester United's nine-match unbeaten run in the Europa League is their furthest run in Europe without defeat since 2011. Pure dominance!
Nice game United played in the European tournament so far. Amorim is showing workings.
Imagine if they actually went all the way and qualified for the Champions League after winning the Europa League, The first test will be against Lyon and they must win. On to the next!

Derbies games are always had tense atmosphere Chelsea is trying to secure their spot into top ranks and Arsenal is looking for cut of difference from Liverpool making things more tense for both teams because Nottingham Forest is also looking good and Manchester City is also now doing good which making things challenging.

Both London based clubs are already secured their spots in UEFA competitions which is good with level of workload and performance could be also good for both teams, but Arsenal is surely suffering due to injuries which are giving them problems but good advantage for them in last 5 away games Chelsea have just one point with they conceded 11 goals and score only 3 mean they are at the bottom of league table after performing like this.

The teams in the EPL are different from the teams in the Europa League, and when you check the Europa League, you will see that Manchester United is likely the biggest team in the competition aside from form, that is why they have to show their class in the competition because losing to all these average teams will make them lose their value in the market and their players might also mother market value.

The Europa League competition is now very tough, Tottenham just get qualified to the quarterfinals, now there is a high possibility that they can face Manchester United in the finals if they did very well in quarterfinals and the semifinals because apart from Manchester United; Tottenham , Lazio, and Atletico Bilbao are the big teams remaining in the competition, and from these fixtures, the only team that can abstract Manchester United is Bilbao, while for Tottenham, I think only Lazio will be the main team to give them problem and if Tottenham succeeded then they might also win the title because they really need the title.

[AYOBA]

The good thing about Chelsea when considering them on your bet against a big club is that you can sense inconsistent ability to face off opponent unlike Arsenal that can put on tough performance, Chelsea is less likely competent to deliver in that game, home advantage to be included, i give credit to Arsenal to make the points available, Chelsea will have a hard time defending, they may get the game advantage but still unable to cover up the points, a draw might be possible but to pick singly Arsenal has to be the main pick.

This season Chelsea trying to make their performances so strong, but due to their inconsistency, they're unable to maintain their position. Imagine with the way Chelsea has been hot in the Premier League by winning against strong teams, who will think that they will come back to manage the top 4 in the table; shall we? That's all about the football.

This coming match against Arsenal won’t be an easy match for them, because not only do they have a hard time defending, but the entire team will know that they face a tough team, although Chelsea always has enough power when they face a strong opponent, but this coming match against Arsenal they will find it difficult to defeat; because Arsenal is going to give them a tough time this weekend.
