While they would\u2019ve hoped for something a bit bigger this season, it won\u2019t exactly hurt to get a bit more silverware under their belt. With that being said, the real priority will be finishing in the top four and returning to the Champions League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a game like this, it truly is a case of \u2018anything can happen\u2019. The fact that it\u2019s at the Emirates will lead many Arsenal fans to believe they have the advantage but on derby day, logic goes straight out of the window.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"722\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/soccerballworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Chelsea-1-722x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Chelsea Player\" class=\"wp-image-5341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/soccerballworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Chelsea-1-722x1024.jpeg 722w, https:\/\/soccerballworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Chelsea-1-212x300.jpeg 212w, https:\/\/soccerballworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Chelsea-1-768x1089.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/soccerballworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Chelsea-1-1083x1536.jpeg 1083w, https:\/\/soccerballworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Chelsea-1-1444x2048.jpeg 1444w, https:\/\/soccerballworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Chelsea-1-scaled.jpeg 1805w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 722px) 100vw, 722px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Hopefully, we can try and make some sense of what is likely to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you on the hunt for <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/best-bitcoin-casino\/best-no-verification-betting-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sports betting apps that don\u2019t require ID<\/a>? Well, click the link and find out more when you\u2019ve got a second. Before that, though, let\u2019s try and break down this clash between the Gunners and the Blues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When these two met at Stamford Bridge back in November, they played out a pretty intriguing 1-1 draw. It was a tight and tense affair and based on the recent form of both sides, we wouldn\u2019t be at all surprised to see something similar happen here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Free-flowing football and end-to-end action is the absolute minimum that we\u2019re hoping for, but we also think this one has the potential to get feisty. Both clubs have players in their ranks that would be more than happy to cause a stir, and getting under the skin of the opposition is always key when you\u2019re playing your rivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to an actual prediction, however, we\u2019re struggling. We can\u2019t see Chelsea coming away with all three points, purely because we don\u2019t think they\u2019re as strong as Arsenal throughout the core of their squad. Alas, can we see them desperately holding the hosts to a point after a difficult, gritty 90 minutes? Absolutely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arsenal aren\u2019t immune to a late winner and they\u2019re excellent at breaking teams down, but we do think Chelsea will be able to dig their heels in and just about hold them off. It won\u2019t come before some close calls and some anxiety inducing moments for the travelling faithful, but a draw is definitely the result that we lean to the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that, we think the Premier League title race will effectively be over. There will still be a mathematical chance of Arsenal pulling off the greatest comeback of all time, but with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolfc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Liverpool<\/a> playing like they are, this should serve as the final nail in the coffin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Official prediction: Arsenal 1-1 Chelsea<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s a rivalry that is often overlooked when discussing some of the very best in English football &#8211; and yet, Arsenal and Chelsea still loathe one another as much as they did all those years ago.
