The Gameweek order of play delivers a potential cracker to get us started, with Chelsea – reeling off the back of three defeats in four – playing host to Arsenal at Stamford Bridge. The Blues have dominated this fixture in recent years – winning their last three home meetings by an aggregate of 10-1 – but are yet to register a win on their own turf this campaign.

The Blues lie just one place above the relegation berths after five outings, having conceded more goals (12) than any other Premier League side. To further underline their failings at the back, Newcastle have conceded just one more shot inside the box (50) than the champions. Jose Mourinho will demand a dramatic improvement on the attacking front, too, given that Chelsea are yet to record a “big chance” at home this term.

Despite ranking top for attempts (112), shot inside the box (79) and big chances (17) by some margin, Arsenal have just five goals to their name – exposing some poor finishing. No team in the league possesses a worst shot conversion rate (4.5%) than the Gunners, offering hope to those patient managers still in possession of Chelsea defenders.

    Looking good for the money I have on Chelsea's win. If Coquelin is off, the bookie can as well hand me the money now.

        I can, but it's cash out or essentially me losing some of my winnings. So, I have to wait until the game is over. Maybe I use the time to put bit more money on Chelsea.
