Premier League predictions.
Chelsea vs Arsenal, Wednesday 7.45pm.
Thomas Tuchel takes charge of Chelsea for the 50th time in the Premier League and he can celebrate that milestone by keeping another clean sheet against the misfiring Gunners, who look set to lose their fourth straight Premier League game - something that has not happened since 1995.
Tuchel's side have kept 25 clean sheets in his 49 Premier League games in the hot seat. It has resulted in his team having conceded the fewest goals of any Premier League side during his reign at the club (36).
Arsenal are not a million miles away from being able to compete with Chelsea when at full strength but their lack of cover in key areas of the field is threatening to derail what has been a very positive season.
Without Kieran Tierney and Thomas Partey, Arsenal's win rate in the Premier League drops from 71 per cent to 36 per cent. In 14 games this season when both have been missing, Arsenal have lost eight of those matches. Mikel Arteta's side have also lost all five Premier League games against the current top three by an aggregate score of 15-1.
Having scored just two goals in their last five Premier League games, confidence in attack must be at rock-bottom so a Chelsea win to nil certainly makes appeal at the prices.
SCORE PREDICTION: 2-0 | BETTING ANGLE: Chelsea to win to nil.
