Chelsea followed up their hard-fought 1-1 draw with Manchester United in the previous Premier League round with a huge victory in the Conference League.
The Blues thrashed Armenian side Noah 8-0 at Stamford Bridge and secured their largest-ever European victory.
Despite playing with a largely second-string lineup, Chelsea left no room for doubt. Enzo Maresca’s team were confident and effectively converted their chances.
Christopher Nkunku and João Félix both scored a brace, while the Argentine playmaker Enzo Fernández delivered a hattrick of assists in the first half.
Now they will face a much stronger team against Arsenal, a team against which they have been winless in their last six outings.
Recent Form | WDLWW |
Key Players to Watch | Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson, Noni Madueke |
Team Strengths | High-pressing, lethal counterattacks. |
Team Weaknesses | Simple mistakes in the defence. |
Injuries and Suspensions | Omari Kellyman, Jadon Sancho |
Arsenal’s recent struggles continued against Inter in the Champions League. Despite holding the upper hand in the second half, the Gunners failed to net the equalizer and eventually lost their second match in a row (0-1).
Their previous Premier League fixture against Newcastle was a match to forget. Mikel Arteta’s men suffered a 0-1 defeat in a performance devoid of attacking spark.
Martin Ødegaard’s injury has been increasingly felt, as the Norwegian is the chief architect of the Londoners’ forward thrusts and link-up play.
Arsenal are already seven points behind EPL leaders Liverpool. Any further slips will be a massive setback in the fight for the Premier League title and a victory in this game should be the only acceptable outcome for Arteta’s side.

Chelsea and Arsenal share a nearly 120-year rivalry. The teams have played 209 times against each other. Arsenal lead the overall record with 83 wins, 60 draws, and 66 losses.
In recent years, the Gunners have had an advantage in H2H clashes. However, among the most notable games, we can point out the 6-0 win of the 2014, still the largest victory in their storied history.
Bet hereBoth teams have high-quality players who can decide the fate of the game with a single strike. Chelsea will certainly rely on their talisman Cole Palmer who has already scored seven goals and delivered five assists in the Premier League this season.
Up front, Nicolas Jackson will aim to increase his goalscoring tally to six. The Senegalese striker has been impressive in previous matches and will look to exploit any lapses in Arsenal’s backline.
For Arsenal, despite a decline in form, Bukayo Saka is still the most dangerous player in the squad. The young English winger is the driver of his team’s attacks but will have a tough task ahead against Chelsea.
Enzo Maresca’s preferred formation at Chelsea has been 4-3-3. The Italian coach experimented with a 4-1-4-1 setup in the UECL game against Noah,but will probably return to his usual strategy against Arsenal. Chelsea’s pressing game focuses on disrupting opposition midfielders while advancing quickly to the offense.
On the other hand, Mikel Arteta either uses 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3. Following recent injuries, the Spanish manager was forced to introduce some changes and alter his game plan. If Martin Ødegaard is fit to play, Arteta will likely use the 4-3-3 system.
Arsenal’s recent form has been shaky, and injuries to key players like Declan Rice, Martin Ødegaard, and Ricardo Calafiori have worsened their situation.
Despite this, the Gunners will still arrive at Stamford Bridge as slight favourites. They have favourable H2H stats in the last six matches, winning five of them. This is an ideal chance for Mikel Arteta’s men to break their losing streak.
Chelsea, meanwhile, have had problems against top-tier teams in the Premier League. They have already lost against City and Liverpool while managing only a draw against Manchester United.
We expect an intense clash from both sides, but the Gunners will push for a victory. Our pick for this game is Arsenal to win.
Chelsea are an entertaining team to watch this season. They frequently score but also concede regularly in the Premier League, as their defense still lacks consistency.
Arsenal has also started conceding recently. Even with Gabriel and Saliba, arguably one of the league’s top center-back pairings, they have allowed too many uncharacteristic errors lately.
We think both teams will adopt an attacking mindset in this matchup. Moreover, five of the previous six H2H matches ended with four goals or more. With both hungry for three points, a high-scoring affair is expected. Therefore, our second pick for Chelsea vs Arsenal is over 2.5 goals.
