The two teams are going through a moment of distrust on the part of their fans and need to win again to get back on track.
Arsenal lost to Manchester City in the last round and walked away from the chances of lifting the Premier League champions trophy. Chelsea, in 11th, is far from reaching the positions that give ranking to some European competition next year, but they can still be close if they win the remaining matches of the championship.

Where Can I Watch?
Why Bet on Chelsea?
Without winning for 8 games, Chelsea is going through the most difficult phase of the season, occupying 11th place and being heavily criticized by their fans. Even team captain Thiago Silva has criticized the club’s management over their signings. The Brazilian defender added even more fuel to the fire when he said in the interview that the arrival of many players harmed the team’s integration, resulting in the current bad phase.
The Blues signed quality players, but the significant number of athletes in the squad demonstrates a lack of planning, as competition has increased and there are many dissatisfied ones. To add salt to the injury, they pulled some from the hands of other clubs by the pure brute force of cash. In that sense, the questions about players like Mudryk or Cucurella even wanting to be in the team are up in the air.
Why Bet on Arsenal?
After losing to rivals Manchester City, Arsenal are seeing their title chances receding day by day. They have 4 games without a win, and coach Arteta looks down in the face of so many bad results at such an important moment.
The draws against Liverpool, West Ham, and Southampton put in doubt the real capacity of this team, which led the Premier League since the opening rounds and opened an advantage of almost ten points for second place.
Recovering the confidence of his players will be a huge challenge for the coach since the team depends on Manchester City’s stumbles to be champions: a completely unlikely scenario.
Final Betting Analysis: Chelsea vs. Arsenal
Chelsea is falling to earth covered in flames. Investing 600 million in a single season to be a relegation contender is one sort of a catastrophe, we must say. However, there is still great talent in the squad, and the Champions League winners are still there. Where? We don’t know, but the fact is that this team must pull the Chesnuts out of the fire on Tuesday.
Arsenal is also in bad form. Not as bad, far from it, but deep in their hearts they know the title is gone. This could take a toll on the Gunners’ performance. In this sense, expect a game full of mistakes and imprecisions, but the leaders will come out on top.
If you put $100 into Arsenal’s win, you could get $67 back for a total payout of $167.
