In his Chelsea vs Arsenal prediction, Ian Wright has tipped the Gunners to overcome the Blues and maintain their unbeaten run in the 23/24 Premier League campaign.
Chelsea and Arsenal will meet at Stamford Bridge in a Premier League match in their first game after the October international break. Both teams came into the break in good shape and will look to maintain that momentum when they resume the campaign later this month.
Arsenal are second in the Premier League points table and are level on points with Tottenham Hotspur, who are at the top of the table. Both Arsenal and Tottenham are the only clubs to remain unbeaten in the English top flight so far this season. Both teams have 20 points in eight games.
While Arsenal enjoyed a fantastic start to the 23/24 season, the same cannot be said for their London neighbours, Chelsea. They languish in 11th place in the points table with 11 points from eight matches. However, Chelsea have won their last three games in all competitions.
