2025/26: Arsenal vs Chelsea ( match preview, team news, prediction)

SHARE

Arsenal vs Chelsea is one of the most anticipated football matches this weekend as both sides face each other for the third time in less than a month after facing each other in the Carabao Cup.

Arsenal are coming into this game with the Premier League title in mind and they are looking to get a win over Chelsea to maintain their hold on the first position ahead of Manchester City. On the other hand, the Blues are chasing UEFA Champions League places and with disappointing results against Leeds United and Burnley, they will be looking to get a result at the Emirates

Recent form ( Arsenal vs Chelsea)

Arsenal have been impressive this season with strong home form and a high win rate, often scoring and conceding few goals.

Chelsea have shown moments of resilience since the start of this season from Enzo Maresca to Liam Rosenior but they always struggle to get wins against Arsenal, with the Blues winless in their last eight league meetings (D3 L5).

Historically, Arsenal have the edge in this rivalry, with more wins across all competitions and recent success in domestic cups.

Team News & Lineups

Arsenal:

Mikel Arteta may have some players returning from injury, and key attackers like Bukayo Saka and Viktor Gyökeres are expected to be influential with the usual players still out of the squad.

Chelsea:

Liam Rosenior has steadied the team recently, but Chelsea still face injury concerns in defence and must stay disciplined to get a result. The Blues will be without some of their first-team defenders Wesley Fofana ( suspended) and Marc Cucurella (injury), Willian Esteavo is also out for Chelsea.

Prediction:

The Blues have their back against the walls and it looks like another defeat awaits them but we think against all odds Chelsea will come out with a result from the Emirates.

Result:

Arsenal 1-2 Chelsea
