It will be a monumental affair between two London giants as Arsenal and Chelsea lock horns on Tuesday (May 2).

The Gunners have relinquished their independent destiny to the Premier League title as the title is not in their hands anymore. They will have to win against Chelsea though, as any potential points dropped can have damaging consequences.

Chelsea are suffering a disastrous season of their own as they find themselves in the bottom half of the table. The Blues have struggled against top-half teams so far, but will be aiming to capitalize against a depleted Arsenal side.

Arsenal vs Chelsea: Match Prediction

London Derby is always an intriguing encounter. Arsenal and Chelsea have a fierce rivalry and it has been a pulsating affair in recent history.

Chelsea are going through a poor form thus far. Their caretaker manager Frank Lampard has failed to turn things around as Chelsea are without a win in 8 matches, losing the last 5 out of them across all competitions.

Arsenal were flying this season but they have been the architects of their own downfall. With a four-match winless run, the Gunners find themselves in trouble in the title race and their defense has also cracked in recent weeks, leaking 11 goals in the last four matches.

But considering all circumstances, we believe Arsenal will win the match at the Emirates. We predict the scoreline of 3-0 to the North London club.
