Arsenal will face Chelsea in the Premier League this weekend.
Former Liverpool and Manchester United striker Michael Owen has predicted on Betvictor.com that the game between Arsenal and Chelsea this weekend will end in a draw.
Arsenal will face Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday evening, and Owen believes that the match in North London will end in a draw.
“It seems almost inconceivable that Arsenal have failed to score in their last six PL games against their west London rivals and I can see the Gunners having to settle for a point in a game that has had its fair share of flashpoints in recent years,” Owen wrote on Betvictor.com.
“Cesc Fabregas gave Antonio Conte a gentle nudge midweek with his two goals at the King Power Stadium and the former Gooner will be desperate for a start against his former club. It promises to be an absolute cracker.”
A footnote added: “Michael’s recommendation: Game to finish in a draw at 5/2.”
Arsenal are fourth in the Premier League table at the moment with 10 points from five matches.
The North London outfit are five points behind leaders Manchester City and are one of the favourites for the league title this season.
