Gameweek 23’s swansong fixture pits Arsenal against Chelsea at the Emirates. The Blues have dominated this match-up in recent times – winning five and drawing three of their last eight meetings in the league – and are unbeaten in six matches. As for the Gunners, they haven’t lost at home since the opening Gameweek.

Arsenal mustered a middling tally of 49 attempts over the last four Gameweeks but still managed to amass two more big chances (11) than any other side. Their effectiveness up top was complemented by defensive resolve: only two sides conceded fewer goals (three) across that stretch, while no team allowed fewer big chances (two). Looking at Arsenal’s home record, they’ve shipped just six goals and the fewest big chances (nine) at the Emirates.

Chelsea’s revitalised attack charted joint-top for goals (eight), joint-second for big chances (nine) and joint-second for shot-conversion rate (17.4%) over the last four Gameweeks, which casts doubt over Arsenal’s shut-out prospects this Gameweek. That being said, the Blues have struggled to exert their influence in road ties this term, racking up just 11 goals. In fact, only West Bromwich Albion have carded fewer shots on target (30) than Chelsea (32) on their travels.
