The two rivals meet at the Emirates on Saturday evening.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger
Harry Redknapp has told the London Evening Standard that he believes Arsenal and Chelsea will play out a draw this weekend.
The Gunners host their fierce rivals at the Emirates on Saturday evening in arguably the clash of the weekend.
They have both enjoyed strong starts to the season, having picked up ten points each from their five games so far.
The pressure is on Arsene Wenger’s side to secure a win, having failed to beat the Blues since October 2011.
Chelsea manager Antonio Conte
Antonio Conte’s team, meanwhile, will be keen to bounce back from last Friday’s 2-1 defeat to Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.
However, Redknapp cannot see either side getting the win that they are craving.
“If you asked me to put my money down, I’d bet on the draw,” he told the London Evening Standard.
“Chelsea had a much harder game in midweek but they should recover. They have players to come in as well and given the four-day gap, Chelsea should be ready to go again for a big London derby. Costa certainly will be.”

Costa certainly is likely to be the key player in this game, having started this season on fire under Antonio Conte.
He has five goals in his first five goals so far, putting him at the top of the Premier League goalscoring charts.
Arsenal will be keen to end that run and if they can, it could see them leaving the Emirates with all three points.
