Arsenal vs. Chelsea sets the stage for a fiery second leg, with Arsenal favourites to reach the final after their 3-2 triumph in the first leg, but it’s certainly going to be heated at the Emirates when Chelsea come visiting.
This London derby should have everything on display and promises to enchant fans on both sides, as well as neutrals. I will go for goals, as I believe we’re going to witness an attacking show from both teams.
Here are my Arsenal vs. Chelsea predictions and free betting picks for February 3.
Arsenal vs Chelsea picks and predictions
My Arsenal vs Chelsea best bet: Over 2.5 goals (-147 at Sports Interaction)
Arsenal vs. Chelsea should once again deliver goals after a wide-open 3–2 first leg, and there’s little reason to expect either side to dial back the attacking approach in the return match.
Chelsea must push for goals to keep their hopes alive, while Arsenal are dangerous enough going forward to score regardless of how the game state develops. It’s hard to see Arsenal being kept quiet at home, especially with rotation likely bringing in players eager to prove themselves on a big stage.
There have been at least four goals scored in each of Arsenal’s previous four matches across all competitions, while Chelsea are in strong scoring form themselves after netting three goals in each of their last three outings.
Chelsea have also won all five matches since the first-leg loss, so confidence is high heading into this decisive encounter. Over 2.5 goals is the safest angle, but bettors should note that Sports Interaction offering +170 on Over 3.5 goals adds real upside in a matchup that profiles as another shootout.

Arsenal vs Chelsea same-game parlay (SGP)
Over 2.5 goals
Over 8.5 corners
Alejandro Garnacho 1+ shot on target
Cole Palmer 1+ shot on target
Martin Odegaard 1+ shot on target
Garnacho scored twice in the first leg and will be eager to make his mark again, especially with his playing time in the Premier League and Champions League limited so far. I’m also counting on Cole Palmer, Chelsea’s primary attacking threat, to step up. He has recorded at least one shot on target in five of his last six appearances, making him a must-have in my SGP.
Dealing with injuries throughout the campaign, Martin Odegaard should find pockets of space against Chelsea. He’s hungry to return to his most influential form, which is why he’s also part of my parlay. To boost the SGP payout to a healthy +1,150, I’m adding corners. With sustained pressure expected at both ends, Over 8.5 corners profiles as a strong complementary angle.
