Chelsea vs Arsenal prediction talk always gets lively, and this Sunday’s clash at Stamford Bridge should be no different. With kick-off set for 4:30pm GMT on November 30, you’re getting one of those London derbies that brings noise, tension, and usually a bit of chaos. Both sides are in strong form, both have something real to fight for, and both have players who can decide a match in one flash of brilliance. So, here’s what I think ahead of another big Premier League meeting between two old rivals.

Chelsea vs Arsenal Team News

Chelsea come into this with momentum and a bit of swagger after stringing together strong domestic and European performances. Enzo Maresca’s side look sharper, more controlled, and definitely more confident in both phases of play. But he still has some headaches to manage.

Out for Chelsea:

• Cole Palmer (broken toe)
• Roméo Lavia (muscle strain)
• Dário Essugo (surgery)
• Levi Colwill (cruciate ligament tear)

The big one is Palmer, who normally knits Chelsea’s attacking sequences together, but there’s at least positive news on Reece James, who was taken off earlier against Burnley as a precaution and remains in contention.

Over at Arsenal, Mikel Arteta’s team look polished and ruthless. Their 4–1 win over Tottenham wasn’t just a derby victory—it was a statement. They’re defending well, creating regularly, and showing a maturity they’ve lacked in previous seasons. But they’re also missing some major names.

Out for Arsenal:

• Kai Havertz (knee)
• Gabriel Magalhães (hamstring)
• Martin Ødegaard (knee)

Even so, Arsenal’s depth has been one of their biggest strengths, and that’s not about to change here.

Likely Lineups

Chelsea (4-2-3-1)

Sanchez; James, Fofana, Chalobah, Cucurella; Fernandez, Caicedo; Pedro Neto, João Pedro, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens; Delap

Arsenal (4-3-3)

Raya; Timber, Saliba, Hincapié, Calafiori; Eze, Zubimendi, Rice; Saka, Merino, Trossard

Chelsea vs Arsenal Betting Tips

You’ve got two sides who know each other well and have played out some dramatic games in the last couple of seasons. Chelsea haven’t beaten Arsenal in their last seven league meetings, but this Chelsea is much more structured than the versions Arsenal comfortably handled before.

Things leaning Chelsea’s way:

• Three straight league clean sheets.
• Robert Sanchez in excellent form with six shutouts.
• Enzo Fernandez and Pedro Neto both scoring and creating consistently.
• A growing confidence in big matches.

Things leaning Arsenal’s way:

• A powerful run of form: WWWDW in the league.
• Only six goals conceded all season.
• Eberechi Eze coming off a hat-trick in the North London derby.
• Declan Rice controlling games with ease and delivering assists.

A tight, tense game feels likely, with phases where each side gets on top. So if you’re thinking about angles, leaning toward a low-scoring contest makes sense.

Chelsea vs Arsenal Match Prediction

Chelsea will have their spells of pressure, especially with the energy of the Stamford Bridge crowd behind them. They press better under Maresca, they move the ball more deliberately, and you can tell several players—like Fernandez, Neto, and Bynoe-Gittens—are thriving in their roles.

But Arsenal’s defensive structure, even without Gabriel, remains one of the best in the league. When they get control, they keep it. When they smell chances, they convert them ruthlessly. And when Eze and Saka get room to run, things usually get messy for opponents.

This feels like one of those games where one goal could settle everything.
