Chelsea Team Analysis
Chelsea have shown strong resilience under Enzo Maresca’s guidance lately. Their title push looks real after four wins in five league games. The team beat Burnley 2–0 away last weekend, proving stability. They also defeated Barcelona 3–0 in midweek UCL action. Chelsea now sit second in the Premier League table. However, their home output is not encouraging, with 10 of 23 points earned at Stamford Bridge.
The side scored 23 goals and conceded 11 across all matches. Back-to-back home wins are still missing in the current season. Chelsea will aim to break that streak versus Arsenal. Their last win over Arsenal came in 2021, under Lampard’s era. They hope to claim a first league win since that season.
Chelsea Line-Up Prediction
Levi Colwill will miss the season after an ACL injury setback. Romeo Lavia still has no return date due to a thigh issue. However, Cole Palmer is hopeful to return in time for the derby, boosting Chelsea’s attacking options.
Possible starting lineup: Sanchez; James, Adarabioyo, Chalobah, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Estevao, Pedro, Neto; Delap

Arsenal Team Analysis
Arsenal is enjoying a brilliant campaign launch, leading both domestic and European competitions early. Arteta’s men top the Premier League with 29 points from 12 games. Their defense allowed only six goals, keeping results stable across matches. The team beat Tottenham 4–1 in the North London Derby last weekend. This victory took Arsenal’s tally to nine wins, two draws, and one loss.
It was their sole loss in the season across tournaments. Their away run shows four wins and a draw, proving strong mindset management. They went unbeaten away from home against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge for 7 years. The side defeated Bayern Munich 3–1 midweek to maintain momentum.
They now lead the Champions League group with five wins from five games. Arsenal will intend to win Sunday’s derby to maintain league dominance.
Arsenal Line Up Prediction
Gabriel and Gabriel Jesus miss out due to injury, leaving gaps in the Arsenal attack. Viktor Gyokeres or Kai Havertz could return soon, while Trossard remains doubtful after a recent knock.
Possible starting lineup: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Hincapie, Calafiori; Odegaard, Zubimendi, Rice; Saka, Merino, Eze.

Chelsea vs Arsenal Predictions & Betting Tips
Using recent performances and key statistics, here are the most promising options for our Chelsea vs Arsenal predictions:
- Arsenal To Win @ 2.20 (5/4) — Arsenal’s league edge and strong defense make them favorites for this matchup. Their record shows consistency, conceding few chances in their earlier displays across tournaments. Arsenal have won three and drawn two of their last five meetings with Chelsea. Although the Blues have improved under Maresca but home results still lack steady momentum. Mikel Arteta set up a side that handles pressure well in away games. Therefore, the visitors look ready to claim key points in this derby test.
- Total goals — Over 2.5 @ 2.00 (1/1) – The Chelsea versus Arsenal game looks set for a high–scoring encounter. Arsenal averaged 2.5 goals per home match this season, while Chelsea has scored in four of six away games despite travel inconsistencies. The Blues have also conceded 1.83 goals away, exposing defensive gaps during transitions. Three of five recent London derbies produced more than 2.5 goals. Over 2.5 goals feels very feasible again this weekend.
- Eberechi Eze To Score or Assist @ 2.20 (5/4) – Eze has begun to find his stride in an Arsenal shirt recently, which remains much of his previous form at Palace. The Englishman scored a hat-trick in his first north London derby last weekend to lead Arsenal past Tottenham Hotspur. That was his first hat-trick in top-flight football, signalling growing confidence with the Gunners. His superb pass against Bayern also set Martinelli up for Arsenal’s third goal in the UCL. That brings his season tally to four goals and five assists in all competitions for Arsenal. He’s relishing a new role as a false nine and is in pole position to contribute a goal or an assist in London.
