Chelsea vs Arsenal live stream, TV channel, lineups, highlights, betting odds and score prediction

Arsenal pay their first visit of 2022/23 to a team who finished above them in the Premier League last season when they travel to Chelsea in their penultimate top-flight fixture before the 2022 World Cup.

While Chelsea are reeling from a comprehensive first defeat of new manager Graham Potter’s reign in their 4-1 thrashing at Brighton and Hove Albion, the table-topping Gunners have won twice since then, hammering Nottingham Forest 5-0 and beating Zurich to win their Europa League group.

A meeting with the team they have met more than any other — 205 times — is the first of three tricky fixtures for Chelsea, who go to Manchester City in the EFL Cup on Wednesday and are at Newcastle United next Saturday in their final match before the World Cup in Qatar.

Chelsea vs Arsenal lineups

Chelsea suffered another high-profile defensive casualty in their 2-1 win at home to Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday when full-back Ben Chilwell sustained a hamstring injury that could keep him out of England’s World Cup squad.

Reece James and Wesley Fofana are already out of contention at the back with knee problems, while goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga is out with a foot issue. Mateo Kovacic is a doubt because of a calf injury and N’Golo Kante is not expected to return until 2023.

Chelsea predicted lineup (4-2-3-1): Mendy (GK) — Cucurella, Koulibaly, Chalobah, Azpilicueta  — Zakaria, Jorginho — Mount, Havertz, Sterling — Aubameyang

Arsenal’s Takehiro Tomiyasu (muscle) was helped off in the 1-0 victory against Zurich on Thursday. Manager Mikel Arteta said Tomiyasu would be assessed within 48 hours but the reaction from the Japan international to his injury did not suggest he will be ready to return against Chelsea.

Midfielder Emile Smith-Rowe is a long-term absentee after undergoing a groin operation, but Oleksandr Zinchenko could be fit to return after making the bench in midweek.

Arsenal predicted lineup (4-3-3): Ramsdale (GK) — Tierney, Gabriel, Saliba, White — Odegaard, Partey, Xhaka — Saka, Jesus, Martinelli

Chelsea vs Arsenal betting odds, prediction

Chelsea are narrow favourites to beat Arsenal. The Blues would have won four in a row at home in all competitions but for Casemiro’s 94th-minute equaliser for Manchester United on October 22.

Arsenal have won all of their past four games against London clubs, scoring 10 times and conceding only twice. The second-highest scorers in the Premier League won 4-2 at Chelsea in April, and bets on both teams to find the net are likely to be popular given that the hosts have scored in each of their past 21 games at Stamford Bridge.

Prediction: Unbeaten at home this season, Chelsea should be smarting from that result at Brighton against an Arsenal side who have proven their title credentials by rising to the challenge in their early encounters with teams tipped to finish ahead of them. This could be an entertaining 2-2 draw.
