Arsenal hosts Chelsea in round 20 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, December 29th at Emirates Stadium (London)
Arteta’s debut cannot be called successful. Arsenal could not deal with Bournemouth, despite all the problems of the Cherries and their losses in defense. Moreover, the Gunners did not create many dangerous attempts, having a territorial advantage. Probably, Mikel will not manage to realize his coaching ideas immediately, and his team will surely experience problems in the match with Chelsea. Nevertheless, the Gunners should take more risks and not try to bring attempts to the last moment.

Chelsea made a blunder at Stamford Bridge again. But in fairness, it should be noted that Lampard's team is more successful precisely on the road. In nine away games, the Blues earned four points more than in 10 home matches. Besides, Chelsea beat Ajax away with a clean sheet and generally had a 7-match winning away streak, which was broken only in the den of the champion of England. The Blues prefer to play outside of Stamford Bridge because their opponents are more open, and Lampard’s men successfully use it.
Although Arteta was an assistant to Guardiola, he still has no experience. Therefore, his team will have problems, as it was in a match with Bournemouth. Well, let's look at the statistics. Chelsea performs much better away (only Man City scored more than the Blues). Moreover, the Pensioners do not leave the field without goals for 12 away games in a row (they scored two or more goals in nine of these matches). It is not surprising that with such an effective game ahead, Frank’s team lost in only three out of 13 away games of the season. Arsenal is still showing a faded game, having gained only one victory in its last 14 matches. At home, the Gunners can’t deal with their rivals in six matches in a row. Therefore, I believe that Chelsea is more likely to win the upcoming derby.
Prediction for the match: Chelsea to win with 0.0 handicap
