Arsenal take on Chelsea next in the Premier League, and Ian Wright has revealed his prediction for the game.
The Gunners have already faced the Blues three times this season – once in the league and twice in the Carabao Cup semi-finals.
Arsenal won both legs in the cup and were held to a draw at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League clash. They would love nothing more than to get another win on Sunday.
Ian Wright believes his old side will, but Roy Keane was not happy with his prediction.
Fill the blanks: On Sunday, the score will be Arsenal _ Chelsea _.
Ian Wright predicts the score of Arsenal vs Chelsea
Wright is usually right about Arsenal.
The Gunners legend predicted that Viktor Gyokeres would score around 12 Premier League goals this season, and he is on track to do that.
Recently, Wright predicted a 4-0 Arsenal win against Wigan Athletic, and that prediction was absolutely spot on.
Now, on The Overlap, the former England striker was asked about the game between his old side and Chelsea on Sunday.
Wright thought about it before boldly saying: “I’m going to go 3-1!”
A surprised and visibly annoyed Keane, who was sitting right next to the Arsenal icon, screamed in disagreement.
“No! This is on you. This is on Wrighty,” he said.
On the other side of the table, Roberto Martinez and Paul Scholes claimed that Arsenal will either draw or lose to Chelsea on Sunday.
Should Mikel Arteta start Ben White over Jurrien Timber for Arsenal vs Chelsea?
Roy Keane says Chelsea will do ‘something silly again’ vs Arsenal
Chelsea have a terrible recent record against Arsenal.
The Blues haven’t beaten the Gunners in any competition since August 2021. Mikel Arteta has since been on a 10-game unbeaten run against the West Londoners.
Although Keane disagreed with Wright’s confident score prediction, the Manchester United man seems convinced that Chelsea will make an unavoidable mistake – just like they did in the reverse fixture.
He said: “Do you know what? Chelsea could do something silly and get a man sent off again. Chelsea will do something daft. You watch!”
Moises Caicedo got himself a first-half red card when Arsenal faced Chelsea in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge, but the Blues still managed to draw that game.
It will be interesting to see if they can do that again on Sunday, especially if they receive another red card.
