Arsenal vs Chelsea Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/01/26

Arsenal’s lead at the top of the Premier League table may have been cut to just 2 points by the time they take to the Emirates pitch on Sunday, as closest rivals Manchester City play Leeds on Saturday. Back-to-back draws with Brentford and doomed Wolves had led to the suggestion that Arsenal could be bottling it in the title tussle, but an emphatic 4-1 North London Derby win over Tottenham last weekend has eased those concerns. Mikel Arteta’s team now face another local rival this weekend as Chelsea visit, but the Gunners have dominated this fixture in recent years and a home win looks a strong play.

Arsenal beat Chelsea in both legs of their EFL Cup semifinals in January and February, and have won 7 of the last 10 head-to-head meetings. Chelsea did manage a 1-1 draw in the reverse league game earlier this season, despite being reduced to 10 men, but Arsenal’s home record suggests they can pick up all 3 points. The league leaders have won 10 of their 13 home league games, losing just once, and have won each of their last 4 home games against Chelsea.
