The first real blockbuster of the new Premier League season sees Arsenal entertain Chelsea on Sunday, with both teams having hit the ground running this term. Each side has secured two top-flight victories, but in a very contrasting manner, with the Gunners at their clinical best defensively and the Blues involved in a couple of high-scoring affairs.
On the balance of that early evidence, we favour taking a BOYLE Sports price boost of 5/2 for a home win and both teams to score as our main Arsenal vs Chelsea prediction.

After brushing aside Manchester City to lift the Community Shield , Arsenal began their title defence by strolling to a 3-0 home win over Coventry . The champions predictably had to work much harder for Monday night’s 1-0 triumph at Aston Villa , but Bukayo Saka’s second-half strike was enough to shade a tight contest.
It was far from a vintage performance by the Gunners , but Mikel Arteta was more than happy just to get the job done. “When we have to suffer, we did suffer, and when we have to be really dominant, we were. So, I’m really pleased,” said the Spaniard.
Arsenal’s last four wins against Chelsea have all come by a one-goal margin as well, so 5/2 for that to happen again here catches the eye.

It is certainly an exciting time to be a Chelsea supporter, with the usual flurry of transfer comings and goings backed up by a bright start to Xabi Alonso’s reign. In the Premier League, the Blues have set about improving on last season’s disappointing 10 th place finish by prevailing 3-2 at Fulham and beating Brighton 4-3 at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea have been irresistible at times going forward, with their front three of Joao Pedro, Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers looking one of the strongest attacks in the league. “It’s been a good start to the season,” said Pedro.
“I think up front we are very strong. Myself, Cole and Morgan are linking up well. Throughout the whole team we have good depth, we have very good players in each position and now we need to build the confidence, the togetherness and maintain this form.”
This may prove an altogether different test, but it is hard to ignore how positive the Blues have been from the outset in their matches, leading 2-1 and 3-1 at the interval. If the visitors are in the same mood here, another BOYLE Sports price boost of 7/2 for both teams to score in the first half is worth adding to our Arsenal vs Chelsea betting tips.
