It’s a surprising twist to see Chelsea leading Arsenal at this stage of the Premier League season.
Few would have bet on it, but under manager Enzo Maresca, Chelsea are finding their stride and edging ahead on goal difference. With just one defeat in their last nine league fixtures, the Blues have been in impressive form. That single loss came at the hands of a strong Liverpool side, so there’s little shame in that. Notably, Chelsea’s last victory over Arsenal dates back to August 2021, making this upcoming clash even more significant as they look to break a four-match winless streak against their London rivals. Confidence should be riding high, especially after their resounding midweek 8-0 Conference League triumph over Noah.
Maresca has undoubtedly made Chelsea more efficient in front of goal compared to his predecessor, Mauricio Pochettino. The numbers back it up—over their last four home league matches, they’ve averaged two goals per game. While they’ve shown resilience, keeping up their scoring pace may hinge on the fitness of star man Cole Palmer. The influential midfielder picked up a knock during their 1-1 draw with Manchester United, and his recovery could play a pivotal role in the Blues’ attacking dynamics.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are facing a rough patch. Their midweek 1-0 loss to Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League left them frustrated despite their dominance and 20 goal attempts. Adding salt to the wound, the Gunners also fell 1-0 to Newcastle in their last Premier League outing, marking a worrying dip in form that sees them drop out of the top four. Seven points behind league leaders Liverpool, Mikel Arteta’s side is in need of a spark to reignite their challenge.
Arsenal’s current three-match winless league streak is their longest of the calendar year, and concerns are growing. They haven’t tasted victory in an away league fixture since mid-September, a stretch that includes a draw and two losses. However, they do have recent history on their side when it comes to visits to Stamford Bridge, remaining unbeaten in their last five encounters there. Three wins in their last four trips make for good reading for Arsenal supporters, matching the total wins achieved in their 20 previous visits combined.
For Chelsea, all eyes will be on Moisés Caicedo. The midfielder has shone in high-profile encounters this season, netting a stunning goal against Manchester United last week and providing an assist against Liverpool earlier in the campaign. On the other side, Arsenal’s Ben White has been a consistent contributor, having notched an assist against Liverpool this season and scoring twice in a memorable 5-0 victory over Chelsea in a past clash.
The first-half trend in recent meetings adds another layer of intrigue—whichever team is playing at home has kept a clean sheet in the opening 45 minutes of the last four encounters between these sides. Arsenal managed to take the halftime lead in two of those instances, suggesting that an early edge could once again be crucial.
This match-up promises plenty of excitement and drama. Will Chelsea maintain their fine form and break Arsenal’s recent dominance at the Bridge? Or can Arteta’s men snap out of their slump and make a statement? Stamford Bridge will be the stage for what should be a pulsating encounter.
