Chelsea vs Arsenal | Premier League | Gameweek 11 - Live Match

Chelsea gave Armenian minnows FC Noah the rudest of awakenings on Thursday night, hitting them for an incredible eight goals in the English capital, putting up a team that was established five years after their first Champions League triumph in 2012.

Chelsea's incredible 8-0 victory on November 7 puts them comfortably at the top of the Conference League on goal differential as they aim to win the continental title that has continuously failed to impress their upcoming opponents. They are one of six teams in the Conference League to have won all three of their opening games.

Last weekend at Old Trafford, where Bruno Fernandes' penalty came just four minutes before Moises Caicedo's beautiful volley, the Blues needed a little Ecuadorian motivation to defeat Ruud van Nistelrooy's Manchester United team.

If the fourth-place Blues improve on Nottingham Forest's performance against Newcastle United, they could finish the weekend in the top three, joining Arsenal and Aston Villa as the only three teams with 18 points out of a possible 30.

Mikel Arteta's team attempted an incredible 46 crosses at San Siro, but all of them were in vain as they fell to their first continental defeat of the 2024–25 season. In some respects, Arsenal's defeat to Inter Milan could be characterized as a game of noughts and crosses.

With the Gunners currently in fifth place in the Premier League after a three-game losing streak, and seven points behind leaders Liverpool, the Halloween period has been nothing short of a horror show for Arteta and company, who are also still in shock over the abrupt resignation of much-admired sporting director Edu.

They have won their last six London derbies by an aggregate score of 22-3, though, and the Gunners haven't lost three straight away Premier League games without scoring since the 1994–95 season, when the majority of their players were not even born.

Arteta's charges have gone five games without losing at the Blues' West London home, including a 5-0 thumping of Mauricio Pochettino's Chelsea in the second half of the previous season, despite being held to a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea vs Arsenal Team News

Chelsea Team News

Cole Palmer was obviously absent after not being chosen for the Conference League league phase when Chelsea head coach Maresca made the team's customary 11 changes in the middle of the week, but the Blues sensation is still dealing with the fallout from Lisandro Martinez's tackle last weekend.

While Omari Kellyman (hamstring) is out and Jadon Sancho is also questionable due to a knock and illness, Maresca is holding out hope that Palmer, who was called up to the England squad, will be able to quickly return to the starting lineup this weekend.

Palmer has had 12 direct involvements this season, including seven of his own and five assists, more than any other Premier League player. However, Joao Felix and Christopher Nkunku both argued that he should be replaced with braces in the devastation of Noah.

Arsenal Team News

Speaking of key English midfield players that their managers are worried about, Declan Rice of Arsenal, who was a member of Chelsea's academy for seven years, is still doubtful for this crucial match due to a foot injury that is assumed to be a broken toe.

As far as the Gunners' medical staff was concerned, it was one in, one out in the middle of the week. Martin Odegaard finally returned from an ankle injury as a late substitute, and Arteta shouldn't hesitate to start him again in the starting lineup given his team's lack of inventiveness.

Formerly Blue However, Riccardo Calafiori (knee), Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee), and Kieran Tierney (hamstring) will not return this side of the international break, and Kai Havertz will require a rest following a nasty altercation with Yann Bisseck of Inter on Wednesday. Raheem Sterling is also unable to play against his parent team.
