Chelsea take on the visitors Arsenal in the postponed round 25 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, April 20th at Stamford Bridge (London).
Chelsea started this month poorly. First there was an unexpected defeat by a modest and not particularly motivated newcomer, Brentford. And then, in the first quarter-final of the Champions League, the British lost 1-3 to Real Madrid at home, which seemed like a verdict. However, a week later in Madrid, the Blues shocked the stands by scoring three times. And only failures and bad luck in the end and extra time did not allow to go to the quarterfinals of the European Cup. This was somehow compensated for on Sunday, when Thomas Tuchel's wards were able to pass Crystal Palace without any problems. So, there is still a chance to take, in addition to the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup, one more trophy. But for this you need to try to beat Liverpool in the decisive match - ironically, they lost not so long ago in another final, the League Cup, when the Reds won in a protracted penalty shootout due to a miss by Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Having failed the start, the Gunners gradually got into shape. As a result, it was they who began to be called the main favorite in the dispute for 4th place in the Premier League standings. And I even managed to get into this position in March... But this calendar month, after a pause for national team games, there was an unexpected decline. In April, the red-whites did not win a single match, moreover, they did not take a single point. First there was a shocking 0-3 loss to Crystal Palace. The Spanish manager beautifully explained the reasons for this misfire, but it was followed by loss at home with Brighton (1-2) and on the Southampton field (0-1). Because of this, the team from the capital moved to 6th place, 3 points behind their main enemy, Tottenham.
Arsenal had a nice streak in head-to-heads, being unbeaten four games in a row, and were able to win in 3 matches against Chelsea. And only in August last year Chelsea won, scoring both of their goals by the 35th minute. Hudson-Odoi and Chilwell will definitely not play for Chelsea, Barkley and Kovacic are in doubt. Arsenal were left without Lakazette and Tierney, and Tomiyasu may not have time to recover. Bookmakers do not expect much resistance from Arsenal and we can agree with them.
Prediction for the match: Chelsea to win.
