Arsenal, without a win in their last three Premier League games, head to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea— a team they defeated 5-0 last time they met.

 

Chelsea vs Arsenal Prediction

Chelsea responded to a two-game winless run with a resounding 8-0 win over FC Noah in the Conference League on Thursday night.

The Blues don't have a great home record against Arsenal having lost three and drawn two of the last five league games between the pair at Stamford Bridge.

Arsenal, though, have been poor in recent weeks having won only two of their last six in all competitions.

The Gunners' only away win in their last six on the road came at lower league opposition Preston.

Chelsea's home record in the Premier League this season isn't great, even if they are unbeaten in four at Stamford Bridge.

The return of Martin Odegaard is a huge boost for Arsenal, and that may just help Mikel Arteta's side to a result on Sunday.

Chelsea vs Arsenal Bet Builder Tips

Our bet builder tips for Chelsea vs Arsenal features Both Teams To Score, Nicolas Jackson Over 0.5 Shots on-Target, Romeo Lavia Over 1.5 Tackles, Moises Caicedo Over 0.5 Fouls.

At the time of publishing it is a best price of 16/5 with bet365.

Chelsea have delivered five consecutive Both Teams To Score (BTTS) results in the Premier League, with four of their five games at Stamford Bridge also rewarding BTTS backers.

Given both teams have kept clean sheets in only five of their 20 combined league games this season, another BTTS outcome seems likely.

Nicolas Jackson leads Chelsea’s attack with five goals, hitting the target in 15 of his last 16 appearances and averaging 1.66 shots on target per 90 minutes in 2024/25 landing eight in five home fixtures.

Romeo Lavia has hit 2+ tackles in all of his starts for Chelsea this season. These tackles count follow on from his time at Southampton where he averaged 2.32 tackles per 90 in the 22/23 season.

In fact, his last 12 appearances have brought tackle counts of 4-2-2-3-3-2-2-1-4-3-3-2.

Moises Caicedo is avergaing the most tackles and interceptions per 90 for Chelsea since N’Golo Kante back in 2020 with the Ecuadorian ace starring in a more defensive midfield role under Enzo Marasca.

He’s also been a prolific fouler, returning fouls committed figures of 3-2-2-3-4-1-1-2-1-1-2 this term (avergaing 1.99 per-90).
