Final Word
It is clear from the market prices that the bookmakers make Chelsea favorites but with Arsenal losing on penalties to Chelsea in the domestic League Cup semi-final they will be out for revenge. Both teams have a very long trip to make the fixture and may be tired. In matches of this importance between teams from the same countries and even the same city in this case making it a “derby” match they are often very tight so insurance bets on a draw may be sensible.
