ARSENAL VS CHELSEA
Date: 03 FEBRUARY 2026 at 21:00
BET ON: Over / Under Team corners- CHELSEA Over +3.50
Odd: 1.83
- Chelsea’s pursuit of Over 3.50 corners is supported by both tactical setup and contextual game incentives in this crucial cup tie. Trailing 3-2 on aggregate forces Liam Rosenior to adopt proactive attacking intent from kickoff - he’s openly acknowledged the difficulty of overturning Arsenal’s lead, but insists his side will go “as deep as we can” and bring intensity and urgency to the Emirates. With one goal needed just to level the tie and two to lead outright, Chelsea are highly likely to press high, push full-backs up and attack in waves down the wings, naturally generating corners as they attempt to stretch Arsenal’s defense. Many of Rosenior’s recent games under this framework have seen multiple corners, and his side’s willingness to play on the front foot even when behind bodes well for over corner output.
- On the injury front, Chelsea’s offensive unit - including dynamic wide players like Garnacho and Neto - remain available and motivated to exploit transitions, while Arsenal’s slight defensive rotation due to knocks and squad demands may blunt their ability to defend wide pressure as robustly as usual. Opposed to that, Arteta’s Arsenal are expected to cautiously manage the game, controlling possession and avoiding excessive risk as they protect their aggregate advantage - a setup that often concedes territory to opponents and results in defensive blocks and repeated attacks from wide areas. In sum, Chelsea’s need to attack from the start, Rosenior’s encouraging attacking intent and tactical emphasis on width and high positions, plus the likelihood of Arsenal sitting deeper with less aggressive pressing, create conditions highly conducive to Chelsea winning four or more corners.
