Arsenal's quest for the Premier League title is hanging by a thread but visiting Chelsea still have plenty to play for between now and May.

Our man Brad Walker (@brad_TWalker) has taken a closer look at the match-up and picked out an 11/4 fancy ahead of kick-off at the Emirates.

Arsenal vs Chelsea analysis - Gunners injuries continue to be a burden

Arsenal continued to surrender more ground in the title race with a 1-1 draw at Manchester United this week. The result means they're now a staggering 15 points behind leaders Liverpool - a gap they can cut to 12 with victory at the Emirates on Sunday afternoon.

Still, the dearth of injuries in forward areas was on show again at Old Trafford. Mikel Arteta's men struggled to break down their hosts, despite United's languishing in the bottom half of the table for the majority of the season. In fact, United were perhaps a tad unfortunate not to leave with all three points on the day due to several top quality saves from David Raya in the Arsenal net.

Visiting Chelsea have hardly been breathtaking themselves recently, though. Enzo Maresca's men may have recorded consecutive victories in their last two league outings, but both of those came against relegation-bound Southampton and Leicester.

The form of star man Cole Palmer is also a concern. The Englishman hasn't found the net since the 2-2 draw with Bournemouth in January and missed a penalty for the first time in his career against Leicester last weekend.

Draw - 11/4

On a day where both sides are at full strength, Arsenal would be clear favourites to win this one. However, their ongoing injury issues means they come in slightly below evens at 5/6 (at the time of writing).

Chelsea remain firm underdogs at 18/5 and, even with the Gunners' attacking troubles, it's hard to back the visitors given everything we've seen from them since the turn of the year.

Maresca's side have picked up just four league wins since the middle of December, leaving them fighting for a spot in the top four despite previously being spoken about as potential title challengers.

These two did play out a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture earlier this season though and that's the angle I'm going to take with this one.

Arsenal certainly have enough quality to put Chelsea away even with the absences up top, but the gap between themselves and Liverpool means the title race is all but over. Instead, their focus will surely shift to winning the Champions League after sealing a place in the quarter-finals earlier in the week.

Chelsea, on the other hand, do still have plenty to play for but as outlined above, it's hard to make the case for an away win. Ultimately, the draw looks the safest pick for me.
