Chelsea vs Arsenal


Arsenal’s title charge has came in entertaining style with The Gunners seeing an average of 3.42 goals per game and 58% of them landing for BTTS.
Chelsea games have averaged 2.67 goals and they also have a 58% strike rate for this selection. AT home though, that rises to 80% with home fans seeing an average of 3 goals per game.
Chelsea average an xG for of 1.43 but also suffer an xGA of 1.51. They’ve looked frail in defence lately and Arsenal can surely take advantage.
Arsenal average an impressive xG of 2.05. They’ve been strong defensively, however, they’ve not maintained that against the stronger sides.
They conceded 3 to United, 2 to Liverpool and 1 to Spurs – that’s their 3 toughest games this season.

Chelsea take an average of 5.67 corners per match, 6.20 when playing at home. They concede an average of 5.33 corners per game, 5.00 at home.
As for Arsenal, they take an average of 5.58 corners, 4.00 when playing away. They concede an average of 3.50 corners, 4.33 when playing away.

Xhaka is like a new signing this season. The Swiss midfielder has been free’d up by Arteta and tasked with getting in to the box and scoring goals, with Partey capable of covering the midfield defensive duties.
Xhaka has netted 3 league goals this season, which has equalled the total number he’s scored across his previous 3 seasons combined.
He’s also picked up 2 cards, so he’s behind where he was last season but there’s still the same streak in him, as there likely always be and in a big game like this I think the chances of him doing something rash are amplified.
He’s not forgotten how to do the dirty work, he was booked 3 times in their Europa League group too, including in both games against PSV.
Tottenham vs Liverpool



I’m expecting fireworks here. Conte vs Klopp. Loads on the line and a lot of pressure facing both coaches should they fail to impress here.
These two rank right up there for goals this season, Spurs games average 3.23 goals whilst Liverpool’s average 3.17.
Spurs have a 62% hot rate for BTTS whilst Liverpool’s is 58%.
Spurs average an xGF of 1.77 and an XGA of 1.22. Liverpool average an xGA of 2.12 but an xGA of 1.44. They’ve also kept just 1 clean sheet on the road so far and are winless on their travels this season.

Tottenham take an average of 6.38 corners, going up to a massive 7.83 at home. They concede an average of 4.46 corners, 3.33 when playing at home.
As for Liverpool, they earn an average of 8.00 corners per match, 7.00 when playing away. They’ve conceded an average of 3.42 corners, 4.60 when playing away.

Darwin Nunez has been turned in to somewhat of a meme, but I do feel slightly like Haaland’s incredible impact to the league has set the standard so high that everyone else looks average at best.
Nunez has scored 6 in 14 across all comps for the reds, despite only starting 6 of those. He also leads the attack comfortably when it comes to both shots and shots on target. He’s hitting over 6 attempts per game and averaging above 2 on target.
The other side of his game is of course his temper. He was booked 6 times in the league for Benfica last season. He managed to get himself booked in his 18 minutes on the pitch against Napoli and of course has already been sent off for Liverpool.
He has this knack of getting embroiled with other players. No doubt now he’s a target for opposition players after what Andersen did to him in the Palace game.
