Diego Costa to score first for his team 9/4
Schurrle/Hazard to score anytime 12/5

Oxlade-Chamberlain to score anytime 4/1
Ozil/Cazorla to score anytime 11/2
Welbeck to score first 7/1 Responsible for eight of his side’s 19 goals in the opening six Premier League fixtures, Diego Costa is Paddy Power’s 7/2 (4.50) favourite to get the ball rolling here, and priced at 5/6 (1.83) to score anytime.
Considering he has scored first for his team in four of the last six league matches, odds of 9/4 (3.25) certainly look like the way to go on him doing do again this time out.
Costa’s clean bill of health should see Loic Remy start the match on the sidelines once again, while injury denies Didier Drogba the opportunity to extend his strong record against these opponents.
However, the Blues’ multi-talented midfield pose more than enough goal threat, with Andre Schurrle available at 12/5 (3.40) to hit a third in six league games, or 15/2 (8.50) to open the scoring.
With two goals in his last three London derbies – including the last meeting between these sides – Eden Hazard is perhaps a more tempting proposition at those same odds.
Meanwhile, former Arsenal hero Cesc Fabregas is available at 3/1 (4.00) to break his old fans’ hearts with a goal against them, with Oscar also on offer at that price.
After hitting a hat-trick in Wednesday’s Champions League clash, Danny Welbeck is already on his way to becoming a new terrace favourite at the Emirates, and offers some temptation at 21/10 (3.10) anytime and 7/1 (8.00) first goalscorer odds as he leads the line in West London.
Also on the scoresheet in midweek, Alexis Sanchez’s 11/4 (3.75) anytime price appears to offer superior value considering he has struck five in his last eight for Arsene Wenger’s men.
With the likes of Aaron Ramsey, Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott all still sidelined, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will be hoping to adopt more responsibility in front of goal following last week’s North London derby strike, and is on offer at 4/1 (5.00) to find the net once again.
More than capable of taking on the mantel themselves, Mesut Ozil and Santi Cazorla can both be backed at 11/2 (6.50) to add to their solitary goals for the season.
