Chelsea vs Arsenal Preview
- Competition: Premier League.
- Date: Sunday, November 10.
- Time: 5:30 PM GMT.
- Venue: Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea vs Arsenal will take place on November 10 and will be the last fixture of Matchday 11 in the Premier League season as the fourth-placed side will host the fifth-placed side.
The Blues will enter this contest on the back of a mixed run of form recently. They won two, lost two and drew one of their last five matches across competitions. While their defeats came against Liverpool (1-2) and Newcastle (0-2), Chelsea will draw confidence from their wins against Panathinaikos (4-1) and Newcastle in the league (2-1). Their last outing was a 1-1 draw with Manchester United and will look to do better than that.
The Gunners, on the other hand, have likely hit their worst form in a long time ahead of this match. They have won two, lost two and drawn one of their last five matches across competitions, with back-to-back 1-0 defeats against Newcastle and Inter being the last two results. Prior to that, the Gunners had won two of their three games, with a draw against Liverpool sandwiched in between. Now, they will look to put their stuttering form behind and will search for consistency.
On that note, let’s take a look at the team news from both camps.
Chelsea vs Arsenal Team News
Chelsea Team News
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca fielded a strong lineup in their 1-1 draw against the Red Devils at Old Trafford. The manager was without Jadon Sancho and Omari Kellyman but has a fairly deep squad to manage any such absences. Maresca will stick to the combination from last weekend.
Arsenal Team News
Manager Mikel Arteta, on the other hand, will draw positives from the fact that players are returning from injuries. Despite their downturn in form, the Gunners were handed a major boost as captain Martin Odegaard played a short cameo against Inter Milan. Declan Rice and Riccardo Calafiori remain major doubts for the trip to Chelsea, while Kieran Tierney and Takehiro Tomiyasu remain injured.

Key Players to Watch
Cole Palmer (Chelsea)
The Blues have relied on Cole Palmer to create and score a majority of their goals so far in the Premier League season. With seven goals and five assists to his name, Palmer is undoubtedly the main player for Maresca’s team. They will look towards him for chance creation as well as conversion and he will be a key player in this match.
Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)
The stand-in captain has been impressive for Arsenal in the Premier League this season. With seven assists and three goals to his name already so far, Saka will again be in the spotlight as the Gunners prepare to host the Blues. He has made it a habit of performing in big games and the team will rely on him for guidance once again.
Chelsea vs Arsenal Prediction
Going by recent history, Arsenal seem to be the clear favourite to win the upcoming clash. However, both teams’ individual form guide suggests this will be a much closer affair. Both sides have struggled to score in their recent matches and this one should be a cagey draw. Their last meeting at Stamford Bridge ended in a 2-2 draw and this one should go down the same path.
Prediction: Chelsea 2-2 Arsenal.
