Arsenal take on the visitors Chelsea in the postponed round 29 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Tuesday, April 23rd at Emirates Stadium (London).
Arsenal confirms its status as one of the best clubs in the country, but it's not easy for them right now. Despite being a Premier League giant, the Gunners consistently finished outside the top four. The situation changed only in 2022/2023 when Arteta managed to lift his team to second place. This finally allowed them to return to the Champions League. While they managed to win their group in the group stage, despite a setback against Lance, they had to work hard against Porto in the first round of the playoffs. After a 0-1 loss away, they only scored once at home and had to rely on penalties to eliminate the Dragons. Then came Bayern, and after an exciting 2-2 draw at home, the English team couldn't respond to Kimmich's goal in Munich. Meanwhile, in the Premier League, despite the increased workload, the Red and Whites remained in the lead, battling with City and Liverpool. However, the current Emery-led Aston Villa secured a 2-0 victory, pushing the Gunners behind. However, they managed to secure a comfortable 2-0 win against Wolverhampton on Saturday.

Chelsea were the main disappointment in 2022/2023, finishing a shameful 12th place. Overall, they have not been able to significantly improve their position, despite considerable efforts from Bowley, who persuaded Pochettino to return to London and take over as coach, and also signed a new set of newcomers, including the £100 million Kaiçedo. However, real success seems to only come in knockout tournaments. In the League Cup, they reached the final, but despite dominating, they failed to score against Kelleher, and ultimately lost to van Dijk in extra time. Returning to Wembley last Saturday, Modric and company played against Manchester City in the country's cup semifinals. There, Nicholas Jackson and company missed numerous opportunities. And in the end, Bernardo Silva scored the decisive goal, ending in a 1-0 victory for the opponent. Moreover, there have been too many setbacks in the Premier League - draws against the main underdogs of the tournament, Burnley and Sheffield United, are notable. Only against Everton did they manage to achieve a confident, solid victory - a whopping 6-0. But even there, the impression was marred by disputes over who would take penalties.
After three consecutive defeats for the Gunners, at home in October, after an incredible goal by Modric, the Blues led 2-0 but ended up with only a draw. It's unlikely that the current Blues will take points from their neighbors again. Let's bet on an Arsenal victory with a -1.0 goals scored handicap.
Prediction for the match: Arsenal to win with -1.0 handicap.
