Arsenal legend CHARLIE GEORGE has teamed up with Arsenal.com and Ladbrokes.com to bring you betting advice on Arsenal games.
Followers of this column have made a healthy profit this season with Charlie hitting the jackpot with two successful trebles at odds of 8/1 and 10/1. Read on for Charlie's thoughts on this weekend's matches...
"Arsenal tend to drop points after international breaks. They don't look as sharp after playing for their countries, perhaps because the travelling affects them.
"It can take us a week to get over it, while Chelsea have already had a game since the break and might have got any rust out of their systems.
"Ray Parlour is injured and that will be a blow to Arsenal, especially since Patrick Vieira is suspended. Ray has worked hard up and down the right-hand side this season.
"However, I still reckon Arsenal can nick a win on Saturday. Chelsea were a good side even before they spent a lot of money but we have an excellent record against them.
"They haven't beaten us since 1990 in the League and I can't see Arsenal losing this weekend either. Chelsea could snatch a draw but I take Arsenal to win at evens with Ladbrokes.com.
"A couple of home bankers make up this week's treble. Wimbledon are rock bottom of the First Division and I can't see them getting anything at Nottingham Forest. The odds are skinny at 4/9 but Forest should win comfortably.
"Sunderland are on a really good run and they should take all three points against Walsall. Again, the odds aren't great at 1/2 but with Arsenal at evens the treble is available at 100/30."
Don't forget, you can bet at one of the many Ladbrokes outlets at Highbury on Saturday.
CHARLIE'S CHOICE:
evens - Arsenal to beat Chelsea
4/9 - Nottingham Forest to beat Wimbledon
1/2 - Sunderland to beat Walsall
100/30 - Treble: Arsenal, Nottingham Forest and Sunderland to win
Henry to score first? Get 4/1 with Ladbrokes.com
