We simulated Arsenal vs Chelsea to predict huge Premier League clash

A huge clash takes place at the Emirates Stadium later today, with Arsenal looking to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League when they take on Chelsea.

After a tough week that saw Arsenal knocked out of the Champions League and lose ground in the Premier League title race, the Gunners returned to winning ways on the weekend, beating Wolves 2-0 at Molineux. The result took Mikel Arteta's side top of the league with Man City in FA Cup action this weekend, but a tough test awaits Arsenal, with Chelsea up next.

The Blues lost their first game since the 1-0 Carabao Cup final defeat on Saturday, with Bernardo Silva grabbing a late winner in a 1-0 FA Cup semi-final loss to Man City at Wembley. Once again, it was a much-improved performance from Mauricio Pochettino's side compared to a few months back, and Chelsea will be looking to cause trouble for Arsenal's title hopes tonight as they continue their push for a European spot.

Victory for the Blues against the Gunners would see them jump to seventh in the table, level on points with Newcastle United in sixth. The meeting between the two sides earlier this season ended in a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge, with Arsenal coming from two goals down to salvage a point.

So, how could the clash between Arsenal and Chelsea play out tonight? Let's take a look.

To complete this simulation, we used EA FC 24 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.

We predict that Arsenal could set up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Kiwior; Jorginho, Odegaard, Rice; Saka, Havertz, Martinelli.

We predict that Chelsea could line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with their starting XI as follows: Petrovic; Disasi, Silva, Chalobah,
