Chelsea vs Arsenal
Competition – Barclays Premier League
Stadium: Stamford Bridge
Date: 10th November 2024
Kick-off time – 16:30 GMT
After their midweek exertions in Europe, Chelsea and Arsenal turn their attention to the Premier League where they both meet at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea enter this tie as the side in better form after winning three of their last five games in all competitions (D1, L1). The most recent in that sequence was an 8-0 home win over Noah in the Conference League.
The Blues also welcome Arsenal to Stamford Bridge on a run of just one defeat in their last nine Premier League fixtures (W5, D3), placing them above Arsenal in the Premier League table. The fact that their sole defeat in the last nine league outings came against high-flying Liverpool suggests that Chelsea are well-positioned to record their first H2H win since August 2021 (D1, L4).
Meanwhile, Arsenal will hope to return to winning ways in this match after back-to-back 1-0 losses to Newcastle and Inter Milan in the Champions League. The loss to Inter would have been particularly painful as Mikel Arteta’s side lost despite making 20 goal attempts.
The Gunners manager declared that his side would be ready to win this test and he knows that his side must avoid losing here as it could put them ten points behind table-topping Liverpool. However, the fact that Arsenal haven’t won on the road in the league since mid-September (D1, L2) suggests another struggle could be on the cards. Yet, the positive news is that they’ve enjoyed themselves at Stamford Bridge of late, as they’re unbeaten in the last five H2Hs at Stamford Bridge (W3,D2).
