Premier League’s Round 11 features the mega event between Chelsea and Arsenal at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, 10 November. The Blues host this game with confidence as they are backed by an outstanding 8-0 triumph over Noah in Conference League. Meanwhile, the Gunners dropped three points against Inter Milan in Champions League with a narrow margin of 1-0.
Chelsea vs Arsenal: Match Preview
After getting out of EFL Cup against Newcastle and a Premier League draw against Manchester United, Chelsea regained their winning form in Conference League. But the Blues have been on a rollercoaster ride recently, securing two three wins and two draws in the last seven matches across all competitions. Nevertheless, they will have a solid boost of self-belief at Stamford Bridge where they are victorious in five of the previous six matches. Moreover, Chelsea currently sit at a decent fourth place in Premier League with five wins in ten rounds, losing only to Newcastle and Manchester City.
On the other hand, Arsenal’s performance has fallen short of expectations this season. In fifth place on points table, Arsenal secured the same results as Chelsea. The Gunners are struggling to find consistency as they have lost three of their previous six matches, winning only against Shakhtar Donetsk and Preston North End. Adding to their woes, last season’s runner-ups lost their previous two league trips to Bournemouth and Newcastle without scoring a single goal.
Chelsea vs Arsenal: Head-to-Head
