How the teams line up

Confirmed line-ups arrive about an hour before kick-off.

Home

Chelsea

Chelsea are among the strongest teams in the league and should control the ball in front of their own fans at Stamford Bridge, leaving Arsenal to defend for long spells.

Away

Arsenal

A title-level side, Arsenal will expect to dominate possession on the road at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea need discipline for the full 90 minutes.

Match preview

Arsenal visit Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea in the 2026/27 Premier League. It is the London derby, and derbies tend to be closer than the league table would suggest. We project 1.39 expected goals for Chelsea against 1.10 for Arsenal, and that gap drives our 43% rating for Chelsea. Team news lands about an hour before kick-off, and a key absence can move this more than anything else, so check the line-ups before you bet.
