Chelsea v Arsenal Betting Tips

When Chelsea host Arsenal today, there will be a subplot going on: Gallas and Vermaelen Vs Drogba and Anelka. I think this is where this game will be won or lost. Arsenal’s midfield looked lightweight against United last week, but Chelsea have also failed to dominate the midfield in some recent games (the potential return of John Mikel Obi may resolve this).

Can Vermaelen tame Drogba?

Arsenal will not have Eduardo and Wenger must decide whether to play Bendtner. Surely he cant perform any worse than Rosicky against Manchester United and if he can hold the ball up, he can also provide chances for Arshavin and Fabregas.

6 weeks ago, I would have taken whatever odds were available on Chelsea, but today I am sitting quite firmly on the fence.

Prediction - 2-1

Best Bet - No bet! But if pushed I would back both teams to score at 1.76
