Chelsea will be in front of their home fans on Saturday, but a look at the line shows they might need that home-pitch advantage. They will take on Arsenal at 12:30 p.m. ET on Saturday. Both teams come into the match bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Chelsea and Burnley combined for eight shots on goal last Saturday, which explains the impressive five total goals scored. Chelsea put the hurt on Burnley with a sharp 4-1 win. The score was all tied up 1-1 at the break, but Chelsea was the better team in the second half.
Meanwhile, Arsenal has not lost a game since May 20th, a trend which continued last Sunday. They didn’t even let Manchester City onto the board and left with a 1-0 victory. Gabriel Martinelli scored the team’s lone goal at minute 86.
The victory got Chelsea back to even at 3-2-3. Arsenal’s victory last Sunday bumped their record up to 6-2-0.
