Chelsea with nine men on the pitch last Sunday for well over half the game deserved to get at least a draw. Today they take on Arsenal in what is sure to be a ferocious London derby.
The Blues have won 10 out of their last 11 at the Bridge and also take a great record into the game. In their last eighteen meetings the Gunners have only won three and the last time they ordered off the winners menu at the Bridge was in 2008, when Van Persie bagged a couple.
The talismanic Dutchman is in tremendous form and has scored 11 goals in his last 12 Premier League games. On that basis he is a must include on all the goal scorer markets. However Arsenal haven’t won a Premier league away game in their last eight outings.
Drogba will miss the next three games as a result of his red card but Torres returns and Chelsea have looked a more exciting team under the new boss. At 7/10 with Ladbrokes we make them the 90 minute call but once again we fancy goals today so play the overs based on how brave you want to be. Over 2.5 at 8/11 with Skybet is the recommendation.
