They trailed in the first quarter and with another goal in stoppage time went into the break trailing by two goals. At the beginning of the replay, conceding a third goal, they lost all hope for a positive result, it was reduced to 86' and in the delays with the fourth goal of the home team, the final result was formed.

Arsenal are coming off a poor run of results and now see City leading the points race and are looking to get back on track today. Of course, what can be said about Chelsea, which is disappointing more and more as it goes on and records negative records for many years. The hosts are favorites but with the defensive weaknesses they show in the last matches it is better to deal with the many goals in combination with the cards as we are talking about a local London derby.
