The Premier League title race looks destined to take another turn on Tuesday, with a mouth-watering London Derby taking centre stage at the Emirates Stadium.

Sitting at the summit of the table on goal difference, Arsenal entertain cross-city rivals Chelsea, who find themselves ninth thanks to an upturn in form.

In this preview, Forebet discusses all the key stats and trends ahead of Tuesday’s showdown. Keep reading to discover what our AI algorithm predicts.

Arsenal secured a 2-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, racking up a whopping 24 shots at Molineux, with Leandro Trossard and Martin Odegaard scoring the goals.

The Gunners have now won 11 of their 13 Premier League matches since the turn of the year, suffering a solitary defeat in 2024.

Mikel Arteta’s men have also won 10 of their last 12 home league games, losing only two of their 16 encounters at the Emirates this season.

Having suffered just four defeats in their previous 35 home league games, Arsenal will be confident of enhancing their title chances on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Chelsea were knocked out of the FA Cup semi-finals by Manchester City on Saturday, suffering a 1-0 defeat at Wembley, despite registering five shots on target.

That result ended an eight-game unbeaten streak across all competitions for the Blues, who recorded five wins and three draws before falling to City.

In the Premier League, Mauricio Pochettino’s men have avoided defeat in each of their last eight outings, picking up four wins and four draws along the way.

It is also worth noting that both teams have scored in each of Chelsea’s previous seven away league games, meaning both sides will likely find the back of net on Tuesday.

Head-to-head: Arsenal have avoided defeat in each of their last four Premier League meetings with Chelsea, notching three wins and one draw in that time.

The Blues have managed to win just one of their previous eight league matches against the Gunners, with both teams scoring on five occasions.

Team news: Arsenal have reported no fresh injury problems ahead of Tuesday’s clash, although long-term absentee Jurrien Timber remains sidelined.

On the flip side, Chelsea are currently without Reece James, Christopher Nkunku, Levi Colwill, Romeo Lavia, Wesley Fofana and Lesley Ugochukwu due to injury.

Although Chelsea have discovered a sense of consistency in recent weeks, title-chasing Arsenal should have enough quality to claim all three points on Tuesday.

Forebet predicts that both teams will score at the Emirates. However, the hosts are expected to outscore the visitors.
