Chelsea vs Arsenal prediction 30.11.2025 | Premier League

Chelsea sit sixth in the table with 23 points from 12 matches, having scored 23 and conceded 11 so far. Since an unexpected 2-1 home defeat to Sunderland in late October, the Blues have put together an impressive six-game unbeaten run across all competitions, drawing only once - against Qarabag in the Champions League - and winning the other five, including Premier League victories over Tottenham, Wolves and Burnley. Defensively, they have improved on last season, but their form remains inconsistent: periods of strong attacking output have been offset by occasional lapses that have cost them points. For instance, they conceded twice against Champions League debutants Qarabag and allowed relegation-strugglers Wolves to score three times in the early rounds of the EFL Cup.

Regarding injuries, Cole Palmer and Roméo Lavia remain doubtful ahead of Sunday’s matchup with Arsenal.

Arsenal lead the Premier League with 29 points from 12 matches and boast the best defensive record in the division, having conceded only six league goals - a key foundation for their title charge. Their European displays have been equally impressive; a 3-1 victory over Bayern Munich underlined Arsenal’s depth and confidence across competitions. Statistically and in terms of performance, Mikel Arteta’s men appear on course to contend seriously for their first Premier League title in more than 20 years, though a much-improved Chelsea side should still pose a strong challenge on Sunday. Their away record in the league has been solid rather than spectacular - they dropped points in a 2–2 draw with Sunderland and suffered defeat to Liverpool in the opening weeks of the season.

A trio of players - Gyökeres, Ødegaard and Trossard - are all listed as doubtful for Sunday, meaning Arteta will likely need to consider alternative options when setting up his side.
