Bet 1: Blue Blitz Incoming? Why Chelsea Could Steal the Show Against Arsenal
We promise this isn’t solely based on their 3–0 dismantling of Barcelona… but by goodness, what a performance. Chelsea took on the greatest team in Champions League history and made mincemeat of them. More importantly, it showed us two key things: first, they’ve got the attacking depth to trouble absolutely anyone; Koundé, Estêvão and Delap made that abundantly clear. Second, they’ve got genuine composure under pressure, and they’ll need every ounce of it in a top–of–the–table London derby.
As for their opponents, Arsenal have been fully locked and loaded. Champions League, Premier League, they’ve been the model of consistency. You barely need our stats hub to see it (although it doesn’t hurt), just point your peepers to the top of the table. Arteta’s side are brimming with confidence, especially after a 3–1 win over Bayern to keep their perfect European run intact.
But while Arsenal are very, very good, they’re not quite invincible. A recent draw against Sunderland showed that if you get in their faces and have a proper go, they can wobble. And up against a fired-up Chelsea away from home, we can absolutely see them coming unstuck. As Matt Upson put it, Arsenal have been delivering “7/10 every week” and that reliability is why they’re flying. Chelsea haven’t always hit that level, hence their lower position. But in a match where both sides should turn up swinging, we’re expecting a proper war of attrition. At 2/1, Chelsea look a very good shout indeed.
Bet 2: The Perfect Acca Anchor – Two Goals or Bust!
Perfect low-risk anchor for our acca this one. We reckon it’s extremely likely we’ll see at least two goals here. Only one in ten of Chelsea’s last matches fell under that scoreline, and Arsenal’s just two in ten. And those were games where the big London sides could put opponents to bed early and then coast, not something you’ll see this time. With stakes this high between two quality teams, a proper back-and-forth battle feels all but certain. So certain, in fact, that even ¼ odds (80% implied probability) feels a bit of a steal. Or maybe Betfred are just feeling generous, they are one of the best bookies in the UK after all. Either way, we’re firmly on board.
Bet 3: All Aboard the Estêvão Express – Next Stop, Arsenal’s Net!
If you’re not already on board with Estêvão as the future of the sport, well get your ticket punched before there’s no more seats left on this hype-train. That performance and oh yes, that beautiful goal against Barcelona left no one watching it in doubt of the pressure cooker of potential we’re dealing with.
Enzo Maresca has said he thinks Estêvão and Lamien Yamal could be the next Messi and Ronaldo, and that may be, but it was the Chelsea forward who shone brightest in last Tuesday’s clash. As for this game? We think The Blues will need a bold attacking strategy to out-gun The Gunners here, and Estêvão will be key to that. If we get the kind of tit-for-tat attacks we’re expecting, we think the chances of the 18 years old adding once more to his young goalscoring legacy here is very good indeed.
