"I think it's a draw or Chelsea win. Gary Neville was left visibly shocked by Martinez's claim, saying, 'That's big.' If Martinez's prediction grated Arsenal fans, then Scholes' input would've triggered even more frustration. 'I'm with him,' Scholes replied, before Martinez locked in his final score prediction of 1-1."
"What is known, however, is that in the three games that the North Londoners faced Chelsea this season, they've had an advantage in each. The Premier League meeting at Stamford Bridge was very disappointing for Arsenal, but they still showed dominance over their rivals in the possession and expected goals metrics."
Arsenal prepare for a must-win Premier League match against Chelsea at home following their dominant victory over Tottenham. Despite Arsenal's unbeaten record in three encounters with Chelsea this season, prominent pundits Roberto Martinez and Paul Scholes have predicted the Gunners will either draw or lose. Martinez forecasted a 1-1 draw, with Scholes agreeing with this assessment, shocking Gary Neville. However, Arsenal demonstrated superiority over Chelsea in previous meetings through possession and expected goals metrics, suggesting the pundits' predictions lack substantial foundation. Arsenal must replicate their performance against Tottenham to overcome Chelsea's challenge.
