Premier League Matchday 29 Preview & Best Bets: Arsenal vs. Chelsea
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Arsenal vs. Chelsea
Sunday's three-match slate opens up with a top-four clash between Arsenal and Chelsea. The Blues have climbed to fourth place, owning a record of 14-7-7 (49 points), while the Gunners reside in second place at 15-10-3 (55 points). Kickoff is set for 9:30 a.m. ET from Emirates Stadium in London.
I'm never rushing to the window to fade Arsenal's defense, as they're the best in the league (24 goals against, 24.4 expected goals against). However, if anyone's going to be able to find the back of the net against this club, it could be the high-octane Chelsea offense.
The Blues have scored 53 goals this season (third) and they're second in expected goals (55.5). Across 28 matches played, those metrics average out to just under two goals per match. Furthermore, Enzo Maresca's men have scored at least once in five straight matches overall, as well as in 12 of their last 13 outings in all competitions. I like both of these squads to score on Sunday morning.
Bet: Both Teams to Score (-130)
