Arsenal vs Chelsea is Definitely the Marquee Match-Up

Arsenal vs Chelsea is really looking like the marquee match-up for the set of holiday fixtures in the Premier League. To match up with this massive level of expectation- Paddy Power has launched another famous money-back special to offer up a bit of extra value to punters on this one. 

Conveniently, there is a distinct chance of a refund here as the venerable Irish bookmaker will be refunding all 1st/last goalscorer, correct score and scorecast singles if the match winds up finishing as a draw. 

With Chelsea suffering a spate of drawn fixtures in the past few weeks, you know there's a distinct chance that it could be honours-even at the Emirates. 
 

Arsenal have been made the slim favourites for this one and there are quality prices available across the board. You'll find Arsenal trading around 8/5 while the draw is priced at 9/4 and Chelsea are listed at 7/4. 
 

Didier Drogba looks to be the go-to-guy for Chelsea and the bookmakers consider him the shortest price to score. He's trading around 13/8 while Arsenal's Robin Van Persie and Marouane Chamakh can both be backed at around 15/8. Both of those Arsenal players are due a goal and you reckon they'll both be deployed up front. 
 

The real ones to watch for both sides appear to be Samir Nasri and Salomon Kalou. Kalou opened the season in an incredible vein of form before cooling off a bit once Chelsea's slump began. He's a slim 12/5 to score anytime, but he's well-priced at 15/2 to open the scoring. 
 

Nasri has been the main man for Arsenal in recent weeks and it's not even the amount of goals he scores that is most impressive- it's the quality of the strikes that really gets fans jumping out of their seats. You can bank on Nasri having an impact on this match if he's fit and you'r elooking at a tidy price of 5/2 should he grab a goal at any point in the match. He is also trading at 15/2 to open or close the scoring.
