Chelsea vs Arsenal
It’s the greatest domestic cup competition in the world. When the magic of the FA Cup reaches our screens this weekend, we can look forward to one heck of a final.
Chelsea are going for a league and cup double in Antonio Conte’s first season at the helm, while Arsenal can save a difficult season with an invaluable triumph. The biggest football games like this are what it’s all about.
Betting odds have Chelsea to win, with a -0.75 handicap, at 1.99. Arsenal are at odds of 1.93 with that start. The two London giants have dominated the competition in the Premier League era, with Arsenal the most successful cup team on seven titles. But Chelsea, on six, can level with a win on Sunday.
Both clubs are in scintillating form. Chelsea stormed to the league title and come into the match on the back of seven consecutive wins while the Gunners are on an impressive run of five. But Arsene Wenger goes into the game with a central defensive problem, with Gabriel out injured for the summer and Laurent Koscielny banned after failing to overturn his red received against Everton last week.
Chelsea beat Spurs 4-2 to reach the final while Arsenal ousted Manchester City 2-1. So the side which lifts the trophy at Wembley will be the deserved champions.
Arsenal’s defensive conundrum could lift the goal count in a game I expected to be fairly tight, so you can get odds of 1.83 on over 2.50 goals. While all eyes will be on Eden Hazard and Alexis Sanchez, there is quality running through each team. Theo Walcott has netted five cup goals for the Gunners this season, while Willian top scores for the Blues with four.
The favourite scoreline is 1-1 at odds of 6.60, but I think there’ll be a result in the 90 minutes.
Enjoy the game!
