The BIG derby of London with Chelsea and Arsenal meeting each other at Stamford Bridge in what should be a close match considering the race for the title. Matches like these have always been tight, and end up with 1-2 goals scored at the most. It's not stats, it's due to the high importance as neitehr side affords to lose, firstly because it's a derby, and secondly because of their position in the standings. Can we have a bet here though? Yes I think, here we go with some reasoning:



Firstly, being a very important match for both sides, the chances of draw increase. As a consequence, the team who gets + has an advantage. And that team is Arsenal. Secondly, I honestly see Arsenal more in form. They could be coming off 4 draws in a row in league, but we all know what happened in all those matches, I don't wanna remember now the stupid points lost at Birmingham, or the wasted chances on Wigan's awful pitch, or even more wasted chances against Boro last round. Emotionally, doesn't make good. What I want to notice is the great Arsenal who got Milan out of CL, or that Arsenal I know who play amazingly well starting from middle to attack, with their full-backs coming so well on flanks for the crosses, with Flamini and Fabregas doing a wonderful job in the middle, and with Adebayor who scores goals, not falls down on the first touch with the ball.



Chelsea don't look bad either at the moment, they got some results on their side, but it's mostly happened against sides like Derby, West Ham, Sunderland, not Liverpool, not Tottenham, why? It's quite obvious they don't play the same against good teams, still think they are far from United and Asrenal at this point, and they would need to improve if they are going to have a chance to the title next year, frankly speaking don't think this year is possible, don't even think they can beat Arsenal in 43% of cases as odds suggest, hence my bet.
