PREVIEW
Chelsea suffered more home misery as goals from Rickie Lambert and Jason Puncheon rescued an unlikely point for Southampton at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday. The Blues had been 2-0 up at half time.
They have now won only once in six domestic home games since Rafa Benitez arrived at the club. Benitez has also watched his men get beaten 2-0 by Swansea in the first leg of the League Cup and, for Roman Abramovich and fans, the news that Pep Guardiola has opted to join Bayern Munich next summer could not have come at a worse time.
The Blues have also failed to find the back of the net in four of Benitez’s six home games and have won only two of those games.
Jack Wilshere’s sumptuous strike four minutes from time against Swansea ensured that Arsenal’s chances of claiming the FA Cup this season remained intact. It wasn’t the best performance but it was important to pick up a result after the disappointing 2-0 reverse to Manchester City.
The Gunners boast the best record at the Bridge in Premier League histroy, with eight wins.
Against a nervous Chelsea, they look good value at around 4.1 on BETDAQ to pile on the pressure on Benitez.
RECOMMENDATION: (1-10 points)
Back Arsenal at around 4.1 on BETDAQ: 3 points
Saturday: -4.00 points
JANUARY RETURN TO DATE: -24.35 points
