Arsenal To Cause An Upset When They Host Chelsea At The Emirates Stadium On Boxing Day.



Arsenal 
head into this fixture on the back of a 6 game winless run in the Premier League, with 5 defeats and a draw coming during that period. They were also knocked out of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday, losing 4-1 to defending Champions Manchester City.




Arsenal have only won 1 of their previous 10 League outings, with 4 defeats in their last 5 home matches with just 12 goals to their name, they are the fourth-lowest scorers in England's top division this season. with 14 games gone, they find themselves 15th on 14 points on the Premier League table.




Chelsea head into this game on the back of a convincing 3-0 win against West Ham United with Tammy Abraham netting a double last time out, the victory ended a run of 2 straight defeats in the Premier League which they are six points behind the League leaders Liverpool.




Chelsea have only lost 2 of their previous 20 matches in all competitions. They have been efficient at both ends of the pitch this term. Only Liverpool have scored more goals than the blues, while just two sides have conceded less which are the likes of Manchester City and Aston Villa.




Arsenal will be without Granit Xhaka who is still suspended. Thomas Partey is a doubt and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could miss out due to thigh injury.


Chelsea could be without Reece James and Ben Chilwell due to injury. Hakim Ziyech will definitely be sidelined for the Saturday's game.


PREDICTION: I FANCY BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE.
