Analysis before the game: Arsenal Face Face London Rivals Chelsea before the international break

Mikel Arteta Arsenal will hope to take a first one Premier League Win over a month when you organize London Rivals Chelsea. The Gunners Are 15 points behind the leaders Liverpool, who could lift Carabao cup Trophy on the same day.

However, it is not all fate and dark for arsenal. The Gunners will take over real Madrid in the Champions League Quarter -finals, a matchup in which both sides can be seen for the first time in almost 20 years.

Chelsea are also in a European quarter -finals. A 3-1 overall victory against FC Copenhagen I will see how Enzo Maresca's outfit travels to Poland to play Legia Warsaw in the UEFA Conference League.

An exciting match awaits both fans who pray that their team can secure London's rights for the season.

The last three Premier League games have been somewhat of a creativity crisis for Arsenal. All three of West Ham, Nottingham Forest and Manchester United adopted a low-block against the Gunners, limiting Arteta’s side to just one goal in those matches.

Without a fit striker, Mikel Merino has been filling the void left by Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus. The Spaniard has struggled to make an impact as an attacker for the Gunners, but this can hardly be unexpected, considering his lack of experience as a talisman.

The true problem facing Arteta is the lack of creativity that his side currently possesses. The over-reliance on Martin Ødegaard as the team’s orchestrator has led to the Norwegian being marked out of matches.

Against Manchester United, Ødegaard was left desperately creating chances to no avail. His audacious scooped passes over the Red Devils defence rarely caused any problems for Ruben Amorim’s side.

The Gunners need to take more risks when attacking. If Arsenal commit more bodies forward and provide more options in the opposition penalty area, Ødegaard’s incisive passes may find a teammate on a more regular occasion.

Although a striker should be on Arsenal’s summer shopping list, the Gunners need to ease Ødegaard’s creative burden; new sporting director Andrea Berta has his work cut out.  

  • The Gunners are a “title winner” team if it does not have

Arsenal may not have the attacking quality to win the Premier League title, but their defence is amongst the world’s best. William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães have formed an elite partnership in front of David Raya.

Gabriel made several crucial challenges against Man Utd, with Raya making a crucial save in stoppage time to keep the score at 1-1. When not in possession, Arsenal are one of the best sides in the world.

This season, the Gunners have the best defensive record in the Premier League. With only 24 goals conceded in 28 games, Arsenal could have seriously challenged Liverpool if they had taken teams to the sword.

Declan Rice and Thomas Partey have had stellar campaigns in the middle of the park. Rice put in a world-class display against Man United as he scored and prevented Rasmus Hojlund from hitting the target with a precise sliding challenge.

If Arsenal can find a remedy to their final-third struggles, they will be in good stead heading into next season.

  • How can Arsenal Chelsea beat?

Finally how can that Gunners End your three-game win in the Premier League?

The blues seem to have a similar problem when it comes to finding the back of the network. Cole Palmer has recorded 20 goal posts in the league, but only two came in 2025. Palmer's teammates could not convert the opportunities created by the former Manchester City Player.

The solution to beat Chelsea is to keep Palmer calm. All the best about the blues Runs through her star player. If Palmer cannot influence the game, it is unlikely that his teammates will do it too.

Also the Gunners Shouldn't be afraid to have more attempts at Chelsea's goalkeeper. Robert Sanchez And Filip Jorgensen Both made a number of mistakes this season. If Arsenal is to end her winning run, a mistake by the Chelsea goalkeeper could be her best way to do so.
