Arsenal – Chelsea, FA Cup Predictions

Chelsea had at least 2 cards against Arsenal in their last 4 games

This match can give meaning to the season for Arsenal

Arsenal would have finished in the top 4 if we watch the standings since Arteta came to the club and became the team’s manager. The Gunners finished 8th in the real standings and exactly 10 points behind Chelsea. As serious progress is expected in all teams, Arsenal will have to work hard to enter the battle at all in the new season. However, if they win the cup in this match, then Arteta should definitely be praised a lot, because the results he has achieved with Arsenal so far are just impressive.

For Chelsea, the cup will be just a bonus, but Lampard has come to win trophies

Chelsea weren’t even expected to make the top four. With Lampard just starting his career and losing Hazard in the summer, Chelsea were expected to have a transition season. Therefore, the finish in the top 4 comes as a pleasant surprise and even if the Blues do not take the cup, the season will be successful. Of course, they will be extremely motivated to succeed, especially since they will play with one of their big London rivals, Arsenal.

London derbies always have a special charge

 Expert view: We will be honest here that we have no idea who will win the cup. Arteta and Lampard are a mystery in the Premier League. Both are coaches with huge potential, who have already shown part of it this season and will have something to surprise. For this reason, we are focusing on a completely different bet. Arsenal and Chelsea don’t like each other very much and often rudeness in these matches is something normal, as players have been expelled in these matches more than once or twice over the years. Bookmakers give us a good odds for Chelsea – Over 1.5 cards at 1.65. We believe that this will not be a serious problem given that Arsenal have fast and direct players in front and the Blues will most likely have to commit tactical fouls at some point.
