Chelsea vs Arsenal Match Preview Premier League 2025-26 Gameweek 13 Match
Chelsea may enter Sunday’s derby outside the top two, with Manchester City poised to leapfrog them before kickoff, but Enzo Maresca’s side remain one of the league’s strongest performers after 12 gameweeks. Early doubts over the Italian have vanished, as the Blues head into the weekend with nine wins from their last 11 matches in all competitions and three straight Premier League clean-sheet victories. Their midweek 3-0 demolition of Barcelona only underlined their growing confidence.
Stamford Bridge, however, hasn’t been their strongest asset. Chelsea have taken less than 44% of their league points at home and are yet to win consecutive Premier League matches on their own turf, dropping points against Crystal Palace, Brighton and Sunderland earlier in the campaign.
Arsenal arrive in equally dominant form. Their impressive 3-1 win over Bayern Munich maintained their perfect Champions League record and followed a ruthless 4-1 dismantling of Tottenham in the North London derby. A victory on Sunday — combined with favourable results — could stretch their lead at the top to nine points, though title talk remains premature.
The Gunners’ recent record at Stamford Bridge is excellent: they haven’t lost a league game there in over seven years and are unbeaten in seven meetings with Chelsea since 2021. They also boast four wins from four Premier League visits to the Bridge when starting the day as league leaders. Even so, form often matters little in a London derby, setting up a fierce, high-stakes showdown between two in-form contenders.
Chelsea vs Arsenal Team News - Premier League 2025-26 Gameweek 13 Match
Chelsea Team News
Chelsea receive a major boost with Cole Palmer back in contention after a two-month absence. The midfielder returned to full training ahead of schedule following a groin setback and could go straight into the starting XI against Arsenal.
Enzo Maresca also has decisions to make up front, with Joao Pedro and Liam Delap both pushing for a recall. Meanwhile, Estevao’s spectacular strike against Barcelona has strengthened calls for the youngster to be handed a starting role.
Chelsea Predicted Lineup
Sanchez; James, Adarabioyo, Chalobah, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Estevao, Pedro, Neto; Delap
Arsenal Team News
Arsenal could also welcome key reinforcements for the London derby, with Viktor Gyökeres and Kai Havertz both nearing returns. Gyökeres has been sidelined since the 2-0 win over Burnley, while Havertz has not played since the opening weekend, but both are pushing to be involved at Stamford Bridge.
Arsenal Predicted Lineup
Raya; Timber, Saliba, Hincapie, Calafiori; Eze, Zubimendi, Rice; Saka, Merino, Martinelli

Chelsea vs Arsenal Match Prediction
Arsenal’s recent defensive wobble — conceding in three straight games after an 812-minute shutout streak — has largely stemmed from Gabriel’s absence, giving Chelsea a realistic chance to find the net, especially with Estevao in form.
However, the Gunners are cutting through opponents with ease in both open play and set-piece situations. With their attacking rhythm at full flow, Arteta’s side should have enough firepower to edge the derby and make another strong statement in the title race.
Prediction: Chelsea 1–2 Arsenal
