This is the 143rd London derby between the teams, Chelsea haven’t lost in 5 games, whereas Arsenal have lost 4 out of the last 5 games.  Last year this fixture saw Chelsea win 2-1, with a double from Drogba.  Football fans who like to see goals will be relieved to know that in 29 games there’s only been one goalless game.

Premiership betting tip: The odds (1.88) show that Chelsea are the favourites to take the points in this match.  I’m tempted to go for a draw in this London derby,  but I’m also swayed into believing that history may repeat itself and we may see Arsenal topple Chelsea at Stamford Bridge like they did in the season where Liverpool also beat Chelsea.  Let’s go for the bet of laying Chelsea at odds of around 1.88, Arsenal will take confidence from their midweek win and thy will also be welcoming back some key players like striker Adebayor.

It might also be interesting to look at backing for fun former players of both sides, Anelka and Gallas to score at anytime.

UPDATE- Chelsea 1-2 Arsenal. It was a disappointing Sunday afternoon if you are a Blue fan (no not the boy band), Chelsea only had one shot on goal throughout the whole 90 minutes, taking that into account, Arsenal deserved to win this match.  The Gunner’s first goal looked to be slightly offside and we got confirmation that it probably was when Wenger told Sky: ‘I didn’t see it’.  Laying Chelsea to win this match at about 1.88 on Betfair instead of backing the draw was a good decision in the end, bringing us a winning Premiership bet for the last day of November!

Betting tips- I still haven’t learnt my lesson with backing players in the ‘To Score’ market, so I will go for another, back Adebayor in the Arsenal v Newcastle match to score at anytime.  He seems to love scoring against Newcastle, having scored in three games against the Geordies last season.  Hopefully Wenger will play him and hopefully this bet will come off!!  Paddy Power has him down as 11/10 (2.10) to score at anytime, click here to go to anytime scorer market.

Sunderland play Man City in a match which pits the two ex-United players Keane and Hughes against each other.  City done the double over Sunderland last season winning both home and away matches.  I think that the City players could be a little weary after Thursday’s extra time and with them having lost their last three away games, i will be backing Sunderland to win at odds of 2.3 on Betfair, or check the Paddy Power banner on the right for the latest match odds.

Some fun bets to have this weekend are for Kevin Davies who’s just penned a new contract with Bolton this week to score at anytime (Betfair quote him at 3.5).  Also back the man at the centre of the this summer’s tapping up affair Gareth Barry to score against Liverpool, Betfair give pretty good odds of 6.2.

UPDATE: I’m feeling as sick as an England player who hasn’t eaten anything for 8 hours whilst having to do intensive training exercises.  Once again a weekend of failed bets, I thought the fun bet backing Kevin Davies to score at anytime would be winner, only for the linesman to rule offside…twice.  Wigan were one of the teams I was looking to bet on, unfortunately I didn’t act on my instinct.
