I’m in the win and a loss camp. Feel Chelsea is always a weird one for us, we’re either really good or really poor with not a lot in between. Let’s hope it’s one of the really good performances down there. I’d prefer to be going to Arsenal with either a win or a draw under our belts and then park the bus at the Emirates.
I'm in the win both camp to be honest.  If we want to win the league, which - putting aside how that is - we do, then we have to keep winning, game after game after game.  We've done more than enough over the past 3 or so seasons to prove that we can beat anyone except Crystal Palace - home or away.  It's now time to do that consistently.

I'd be ok with a draw at Arsenal but a win at Chelsea would be massive.

But would you take two draws or a win and a loss? I'd be tempted by the latter if it meant wining at Arsenal, but would be happy with two draws.

Avoiding defeat is the most important thing in games against the teams around us so I'd accept 2 draws easier than a win and a loss, despite it being fewer points.

It depends who we consider our main rivals I guess. I think Man City are most likely to win the league. Two draws means we only get 2 points and we drop 4 though we don't lose any ground on either. Arse or Chelsea. A win and a loss means we drop 3 points, lose out to one of the teams we've played, and gain a good amount on the other. So, if it's a choice, a win against Arsenal and loss to Chelsea is preferable to a draw against both. A win against Chelsea and loss to Arsenal, means the pack can close on us a bit and the top 2 will stretch the advantage.

Just go and win them both, but mostly Arsenal.

Yeah, one fewer point for us but two fewer for one of them
