Set to take place on November 10 and the last encounter of Premier League Matchday 11, the much-awaited battle is Chelsea vs Arsenal. Fourth-place Chelsea hosts fifth-place Arsenal in what looks to be an exciting match between two elite teams with long-standing rivalries and great aspirations.

Chelsea’s recent performance has been inconsistent, with two wins, two losses, and a tie in their past five games across various competitions. Along with suffering tight losses against Liverpool and Newcastle, the Blues had a noteworthy 4-1 triumph against Panathinaikos and a hard-fought 2-1 league victory versus Newcastle. Most recently, Chelsea drew Manchester United to a draw at 1-1 in an attempt to pick some momentum at home.

Conversely, Arsenal is struggling with their own inconsistent form. Arsenal has followed Chelsea’s record in their last five games: two wins, two losses, one tie. Their back-to-back 1-0 losses against Newcastle and Inter Milan, however, raised problems regarding their consistency. Aiming for top-table contention and facing Chelsea, the Gunners are keen to turn their fortunes around.
