Lescott wrote: “As I’ve already discussed above, I have a funny feeling that Chelsea may rise to the occasion against the league leaders.
“There are a lot of individuals capable of producing special moments in that Blues group and these characters often show their class in big games.
“A draw wouldn’t surprise me but I’ll stick to my guns and go for a home victory.
“Prediction: Chelsea 2-1 Arsenal.”
Who will win the London derby?
In our view, Arsenal will win the London derby against Chelsea this weekend.
Yes, the match will be held at Stamford Bridge and Chelsea will have home advantage, but Arsenal are playing well and are in better form.
We think that Arsenal have what it takes to pick up all three points from the Premier League match in London.
True, Gabriel Jesus is not scoring goals at the moment, but the Gunners have other players who are in great form and can score goals.
Arsenal are defensively strong as well and are unlikely to concede more than a goal against Chelsea.
