Arsenal vs Chelsea Tips, Bet Builder Predictions & Latest Odds
Arsenal and Chelsea will duke it out for a place in the EFL Cup Final on Tuesday evening at the Emirates.
The Gunners hold a slender one-goal advantage from the first leg after a pulsating 3-2 win at Stamford Bridge last month.
Clashes involving these two sides can often be tetchy, but how will the second leg pan out, and who will be heading to Wembley in March? We’ve outlined some tips and the best free bets to take advantage of.
Arsenal vs Chelsea Tips
Check out our best betting tips for the game, as we see who makes it through to the final.
Tip 1: Arsenal to Win to Nil
Arsenal may have had a mini wobble in January, but judging by their superb performance against Leeds in the Premier League last weekend, that seems to be firmly behind them.
There was an air of calm, as well as a couple of set-piece goals scored, but the Gunners surged to a 4-0 win.
Chelsea, meanwhile, had a more kamikaze encounter, rallying from 2-0 down against strugglers West Ham to clinch an incredible 3-2 win.
When Chelsea and Arsenal met in the first leg, it was end-to-end, and both teams went gung-ho in search of eking out a lead.
Arsenal had to survive a couple of scares, and while the last two encounters have seen the Both Teams to Score line met, I don’t see that happening this time.
In the two previous Premier League encounters (yes, different competition I know!), the Gunners recorded victories without conceding, and I’m going for Mikel Arteta’s men to fulfil the win to nil line.
Tip 2: Arsenal to Score in Both Halves
Arsenal are strong frontrunners, and they don’t seem to waver really at any point during matches.
Of course, they were tested in the first leg by Chelsea, but they showed their mettle to overcome potentially sticky situations.
In the first leg, the Gunners netted in both halves, and they took their goals with aplomb. I’m fancying a similar outcome, and for my second pick, Arsenal to score in both halves seems sensible.
Tip 3: Arsenal to Win to Nil, Leandro Trossard to Score or Assist, Over 11.5 Corners
Generally speaking, Arsenal have been impregnable, and don’t give away too many chances. Kick off your bet builder with them to win to nil.
Although Leandro Trossard hasn’t necessarily been the most prolific this season, scoring seven times in all competitions, including one in the EFL Cup, he usually rises to the big occasion. Trossard last netted against Chelsea in 2024 (league), and he could end his drought tonight.
The first leg, as mentioned, was an end-to-end affair. Across the 90 minutes, the referee awarded 15 corners with Arsenal pipping the count by nine to six. Over 11.5 corners to round up the bet builder, therefore, seems attainable.
