Chelsea vs Arsenal | Premier League Preview & Betting Tips | 30 Nov 2025

Chelsea and Arsenal are both right in the thick of the title race and playing some of the best football in the league. This one always delivers drama – recent meetings have been tight and full of needle. Stamford Bridge will be absolutely electric, with the home end in full voice and a huge travelling support from North London.

Chelsea line up in a fluid 4-2-3-1 that presses high and looks to dominate the ball. Arsenal go 4-3-3, happy to control possession and pick teams off with quick transitions.

Both sides are ruthless going forward – Chelsea average 1.80 goals scored, Arsenal 2.10 – but they’re also two of the meanest defences in the division, conceding 1.20 and 0.80 respectively. Set pieces are a big weapon for both, and with high possession numbers (55% and 60%), this could be decided by who converts their big chances better.

Chelsea over the last ten: six wins, three draws, one defeat – 18 scored, 12 conceded, three clean sheets. In sensational form and loving life at the Bridge.

Arsenal: seven wins, three draws – 21 scored, 8 conceded, four clean sheets. Absolutely flying and looking like genuine title contenders.

Chelsea at home (last 10): 70% win rate, averaging 2.1 scored and 0.9 conceded – Stamford Bridge is a fortress again.

Arsenal away (last 10): 70% win rate, averaging 2.2 scored and 0.8 conceded – they’ve been lethal on the road.

Two of the best attacks in the league against two of the stingiest defences – goals look likely.

Recent games have been tight: Chelsea won 2-0 at the Bridge in January 2025, Arsenal won 2-0 at the Emirates in October 2024, and the previous three were all draws or one-goal margins. Four of the last five have gone over 2.5 goals.

Two sides in red-hot form, both scoring freely and defending like their lives depend on it. Home advantage and recent history at the Bridge just tip it for Chelsea, but it’ll be close.
