Chelsea’s start to the season has been impressive, and they have already held their own against the likes of Man City, Liverpool, and Man United this term.
Defensively, Arsenal have been suspect in recent weeks, and their attacking players haven’t been firing in the final third of the field. Therefore, the preference is for a Chelsea victory.
