Match: Arsenal - Chelsea
Prediction: Chelsea +0.25

Stake: 5/10
Certainly the most attractive match around christmas, #2 hosts #4 in the Premier League. Chelsea has been in terrible form lately and they definetely need to bounce back. They have had two weeks of rest to prepare for this match, meanwhile Lampard has become fully fit and I expect him to start right away. They have only collected 2 points from their last 4 matches on the road. Still, Chelsea started magnificently this season and we all know they can be really strong. They have only lost 2 of their last 18 matches against Arsenal and have won 4 of the last 7 matches at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal looks really strong these days and they happen to win or lose all the time, they exceptionally draw. They share a league-high record with Manchester City in matches on the road, but already lost 3 matches at home. Most of the time they show great play and easily beat lower opponents, but struggle against strong teams. I believe this could be one of those matches in which they struggle against an eager Chelsea side.
