Game Prediction
The cup semi-finals were held in England over the weekend, and this affected the schedule for the Premier League round. Still, the clubs will return to the field, albeit in one couple, but with high status on Tuesday: Arsenal versus Chelsea. This derby was supposed to be held as part of the 29th round, but a “window” was found only now. The experts of the website have prepared a prediction for the central match on April 23, 2024.
Arsenal is trying to confirm its considerable potential with success in spring matches
“The Gunners”, after a protracted decline that began under the leadership of Wenger, quite unexpectedly climbed to 2nd place in the Premier League a year ago. And they had been in the confident lead until mid-spring. Generally speaking, one can say that “the Red and Whites”, having strengthened their squad with Rice and Havertz last summer, are maintaining the positions, which were won in 2023. That happened despite the fact that the club finally managed to return to the Champions League, where, having confidently won the group, the British grandee, exchanging 1-0 victories, knocked out Porto only on penalties. And then it played with an old enemy, Bayern. A 2-2 draw in London was followed by the success of the German team – the opponent confirmed that it was a little better on the native score (a 1-0 result was enough to reach the semi-finals). Taking into account a load in the Premier League, the vice-champion maintained its position in mid-spring, going on equal terms with City and Liverpool. Still, then there was the battle against Aston Villa, and Emery’s wards won with a 2-0 score. On Saturday, the team, however, beat Wolverhampton with the same result.
Chelsea as a whole is unpleasantly surprising
“The Blues” failed in the previous season – then the giants slid sharply to 12th place in the final Premier League table. After that, they spent a new bunch of money on newcomers and invited Pochettino to the coaching position in London. Nevertheless, “the Pensioners” are really not bad only in knock-out formats. They reached the final and looked good there in the League Cup, but Van Dijk’s only late goal brought the title to Liverpool. Returning to Wembley last Saturday to play the FA Cup semi-final, there was a mirror image of the previous visit. Jackson and company had the advantage and chances again, and the result was 1-0 in favour of the opponent. At the same time, if there is progress in the Premier League, it is clearly not what was expected after the great sum of money was spent. The team defeated Everton with a 6-0 score, but victories are not enough, and it may be left without the European competitions again.
Previous head-to-head matches
“The Gunners” have won most of their head-to-head matches with their neighbour, including winning 3 games in a row in 2022-2023. “The Blues” took the lead by a couple of goals in the autumn, but Arteta’s wards managed to level the game even there – 2-2.
