Arsenal vs Chelsea : Team news, predictions, head-to-head, TV live stream info, match details | English Premier League preview
Arsenal vs Chelsea will take place at Emirates Stadium on Sunday, 29th December.
The Gunners are not able to find their rhythm under their new manager Mikel Arteta. This match comes a little too soon as the manager is still settling in with his new squad, and this encounter will not be an easy one.
On the other hand, Chelsea’s run so far has not been a great one either. They have lost more than couple of their previous matches which has not just put them behind in the league, it could cost them the title.

Match Predictions Arsenal vs Chelsea
In this game, Chelsea is expected to come out on top. Reason being that their last encounter with the Gunners was in the Europa League finals match that ended with 4-1 for Chelsea.
