Arsenal Versus Chelsea Should Be Good in Multiple Ways

Chelsea are six points ahead of Arsenal, and they are two of three teams currently fighting for a spot into the Champions League for next season. They have both scored at least 40 goals on the season, with Arsenal tied for third in the league. Chelsea have the second-best mark in the league for goals allowed. This is a bragging rights game between London powers, with both managers under the microscope, as well.

From a DFS perspective, this fixture has a history of goals. There have been at least three goals scored in four of the last five league matches between the Blues and Gunners. There have been a combined nine goals in the last two matches. The August match had two players with both a goal and an assist, five different goal scorers, and four different players with an assist.

There are also individual stories to follow, too. Eden Hazard ($9,500) and Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang ($11,500) have tallied goals that have resulted in the most real-world team points for their teams in the league. Aubameyang's goals have led to 12 points for Arsenal while Hazard's goals have resulted in 10 points for Chelsea. Olivier Giroud ($8,000) has been playing limited minutes, but he could become just the second person to score for both clubs if he nets a goal on Saturday.

This past weekend's match between Manchester United and Tottenham was the most-watched Premier League game in the last 13 months in the US, but the fireworks that could happen in London this weekend may make this matchup a better one to watch.
