‘A dip form, “I have to fancy them’ – Michael Owen gives massive prediction for Chelsea vs Arsenal clash
As we all know Arsenal are in poor form at the moment, having lost four of their last five games in the Premier League.
The Gunners performance have since dipped, and they now face a Chelsea team who are in far better form.
Former England striker Michael Owen has revealed that Arsenal will put in a much better performance against Chelsea, but he backed Chelsea to win this tie 2-1.
The former Liverpool and Manchester United striker told BetVictor: “Chelsea look back to their best.”
“They had a dip in form, but the last few performances have been much better.
“I wouldn’t say they were at their absolute best against Palace, but they controlled the game and made it look like a routine win. I loved Mason Mount’s goal, a brilliant touch and finish inside the box.
“The pressure is mounting on Mikel Arteta and Arsenal. After Spurs dropped points earlier, to lose away to Southampton was a disaster.
“That’s now three defeats in a row. The glaring worry is the lack of goals, could letting [Pierre-Emerick] Aubameyang leave in January come back to haunt them?
“I have to fancy Chelsea here. I think we’ll see an improved performance from Arsenal, but it won’t be enough.”
