Comments, predictions Chelsea vs Arsenal: Dramatic draw

Premier League Matchday 11 kicks off with a remarkable clash before the main event on Sunday afternoon, when Chelsea and Arsenal face off in a tense London derby.

Enzo Maresca's side are keeping Arsenal outside the Champions League top four on goal difference, and it was the hosts who showed their attacking prowess in impressive fashion in midweek.

Latest Chelsea vs Arsenal squad information

Chelsea manager Maresca made his usual 11 changes in midweek, and Cole Palmer was, of course, absent after being left out of the Conference League squad, but the youngster is still feeling the effects of last weekend's challenge from Lisandro Martinez.

Maresca is hopeful Palmer - who has been called up to the England squad - will be able to return to the starting line-up for this weekend's game, but Jadon Sancho is also a doubt due to injury and illness, while Omari Kellyman (hamstring) will miss out.

No Premier League player has been directly involved in more moves than Palmer with 12 this season - seven goals and five assists - but Christopher Nkunku and Joao Felix both stepped up to the plate with a brace in the demolition of Noah.

Speaking of influential English midfielders that coaches are worried about, Arsenal's Declan Rice - who spent seven years in Chelsea's academy system - remains a doubt for this crucial game due to a foot injury, believed to be a broken toe.

Meanwhile, Arsenal's medical team made a change in midweek, with Martin Odegaard returning from an ankle injury as a late substitute, and Arteta will not hesitate to bring him back into the starting line-up amid the team's creative struggles.

Former Chelsea man Kai Havertz will need a scan after a nasty clash of heads with Inter's Yann Bisseck on Wednesday, while Riccardo Calafiori (knee), Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) and Kieran Tierney (hamstring) are all unlikely to return before the international break. Raheem Sterling is also ruled out of facing his former club.

Latest Chelsea vs Arsenal predicted lineup

Chelsea:

Sanchez; Gusto, Fofana, Colwill, James; Caicedo, Lavia; Madueke, Palmer, Neto; Jackson

Arsenal:

Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber; Odegaard, Partey, Rice; Saka, Jesus, Martinelli

Latest Chelsea vs Arsenal football review

Facing a side formed five years after their first Champions League triumph in 2012, Chelsea delivered a shock wake-up call to Armenian minnows FC Noah, beating them 8-0 in an impressive display in London on Thursday night.

One of six Conference League sides to have won all three of their opening fixtures, Chelsea's stunning 8-0 win on 7 November unsurprisingly took them top of the table on goal difference, while they continued their quest for the continental trophy that has eluded their upcoming visitors.

From the wake-up calls to Ruud van Nistelrooy, the Blues needed some Ecuadorian inspiration to avoid defeat to the former Netherlands striker's side at Old Trafford last weekend, where Bruno Fernandes' penalty came just four minutes before Moises Caicedo's stunning volley.

One of three teams to have picked up 18 points from a possible 30 - along with Arsenal and Aston Villa - fourth-placed Chelsea could finish the weekend in the top three if Nottingham Forest get the better of Newcastle United, and Maresca's men are currently on an eight-game unbeaten home run in all competitions.

However, the Blues have yet to keep a clean sheet in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge this season - six consecutive games without a clean sheet since beating West Ham United in May - while Arsenal have also failed to look as strong in attack in the early stages of November.

Whether at St James' Park or the San Siro, Arsenal's result was the same; a 1-0 defeat with little attacking inspiration. After succumbing to a brilliant Alexander Isak header against Newcastle United, they lost a controversial Hakan Calhanoglu penalty on Wednesday night.

Arsenal's defeat to Inter Milan was a game of tic-tac-toe; Mikel Arteta's men attempted 46 crosses at the San Siro, but all failed to find the net, as they suffered their first defeat in European competition in 2024-25.

Also dealing with the shock resignation of sporting director Edu, Halloween was a hell of a time for Arteta and his players, as a three-game winless run in the Premier League left Arsenal fifth in the table and seven points behind leaders Liverpool.

However, not since the 1994-95 season - when most of Arsenal's players were not yet born - have the Gunners lost three consecutive away games without scoring, and the capital derby is where they show their strength, having won their last six London derbies by a combined score of 22-3.

That run included a 5-0 thrashing of Mauricio Pochettino's Chelsea in the second half of last season, despite being held to a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge, but that four-goal draw meant Arteta and his men went five games unbeaten at Chelsea's home ground in west London.
