Chelsea welcome Arsenal to Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon for a London derby. Here are our score predictions for this big Premier League clash.

Chelsea and Arsenal square off at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League game of the weekend. Here are the score predictions from The Pride of London staff!

Vishnu Raj: 3-0. Chelsea are in a very good run of form right now. Antonio Conte and his players will be keen to defeat Arsenal especially after the two losses at Wembley. Arsenal’s recent record at Stamford Bridge is also very poor. Expect Alvaro Morata to score yet again, though this time it will be by using his feet.

Kevin Peacock: The Blues go full throttle at Arsenal from the off and the game is over as a contest before half time. Chelsea to lead 3-0 at the break. Conte’s men ease off in the second half which is shared in terms of goals. The West Londoners extend their winning streak winning 4-1.

Travis Tyler: 2-0. Last year at this time I was 100% sure Chelsea were going to smash Arsenal. I don’t think the Blues will lose, but I’m not gonna assume anything more than a low boil 2-0 win against the run of play (just to make commentators go into a tizzy about “possession” and “Arsenal were the better team despite not looking like winning at all”).

Scott Brant: 2-1. Arsenal have the larger share of possession and that won’t matter. With Sanchez likely to be rested, Arsenal will have no real threat. A Chelsea own goal late will get Gunners on the board. Another goal for Morata, followed by a Hazard goal via the penalty spot.

Daniel McClue: 7-0. The Blues explode out of the gate; Morata, Pedro and Bakayoko all scoring within 20 minutes. As Arsenal panic and start to open up Chelsea take command. Second half goals from Cahill, Hazard, Morata and Alonso seal Arsenal’s fate as the away fans chant ‘Wenger Out’ and the home fans chant ‘Wenger In’. Wenger responds by attempting to reveal a t-shirt under his jacket that says ‘I’m here to stay’ but he can’t figure out the zip.

Brendan McDonnell: 2-0. I fully expect a classic “Arsenal maintains useless possession, Chelsea scores, and everyone complains” match.  Arsenal are coming off two consecutive wins after the Liverpool bludgeoning, but even the non-FanTV supporters can’t feel all that great.

Next: Chelsea can exploit Arsenal’s lack of midfield control in the 3-4-3
