Dive into our comprehensive preview, covering match details, potential lineups, and expert score predictions to get you geared up for kickoff.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"auto\">Match Details<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Chelsea vs Arsenal is set for <strong>Sunday, November 30, 2025<\/strong>, with kickoff at <strong>4:30 PM GMT (11:30 AM ET \/ 8:30 AM PT)<\/strong> at the iconic <strong>Stamford Bridge<\/strong> in West London. This fixture marks Gameweek 13 of the Premier League season and is a pivotal moment for both clubs vying for supremacy.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"auto\">Predicted Lineups<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Injuries will shape both XIs, but returns like Chelsea\u2019s Cole Palmer add intrigue. Here\u2019s our take on the potential starting lineups, based on recent form and the latest updates.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"auto\">Chelsea Predicted XI (4-2-3-1)<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Enzo Maresca favors a fluid, counter-attacking setup, with Palmer back from groin\/toe issues to orchestrate from the No. 10 role. Up top, Joao Pedro edges Liam Delap for his movement, while Pedro Neto\u2019s pace could exploit Arsenal\u2019s high line.<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"auto\">\n<li><strong>GK<\/strong>: Robert S\u00e1nchez<\/li>\n<li><strong>RB<\/strong>: Reece James<\/li>\n<li><strong>CB<\/strong>: Trevoh Chalobah<\/li>\n<li><strong>CB<\/strong>: Wesley Fofana<\/li>\n<li><strong>LB<\/strong>: Marc Cucurella<\/li>\n<li><strong>CM<\/strong>: Enzo Fern\u00e1ndez<\/li>\n<li><strong>CM<\/strong>: Mois\u00e9s Caicedo<\/li>\n<li><strong>RW<\/strong>: Pedro Neto<\/li>\n<li><strong>AM<\/strong>: Cole Palmer<\/li>\n<li><strong>LW<\/strong>: Alejandro Garnacho<\/li>\n<li><strong>ST<\/strong>: Joao Pedro<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 dir=\"auto\">Arsenal Predicted XI (4-3-3)<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Mikel Arteta\u2019s high-pressing machine thrives on width from Saka and Madueke, with Eberechi Eze\u2019s recent hat-trick form (vs. Spurs) cementing his midfield spot. Without Gabriel (thigh, out weeks), Piero Hincapi\u00e9 pairs Saliba at the back. Trossard is touch-and-go (calf), so Noni Madueke (ex-Chelsea) slots in left.<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"auto\">\n<li><strong>GK<\/strong>: David Raya<\/li>\n<li><strong>RB<\/strong>: Jurrien Timber<\/li>\n<li><strong>CB<\/strong>: William Saliba<\/li>\n<li><strong>CB<\/strong>: Piero Hincapi\u00e9<\/li>\n<li><strong>LB<\/strong>: Riccardo Calafiori<\/li>\n<li><strong>CM<\/strong>: Eberechi Eze<\/li>\n<li><strong>CM<\/strong>: Martin Zubimendi<\/li>\n<li><strong>CM<\/strong>: Declan Rice<\/li>\n<li><strong>RW<\/strong>: Bukayo Saka<\/li>\n<li><strong>ST<\/strong>: Mikel Merino<\/li>\n<li><strong>LW<\/strong>: Noni Madueke<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 dir=\"auto\">Score Predictions<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"auto\">This top-two clash screams caution, with both sides prioritizing clean sheets (Chelsea: four in last five; Arsenal: 75% shutouts).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\"><strong>Our Predictions<\/strong>: Draw (1-1): A cagey stalemate suits both.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Premier League\u2019s fiercest London derby is upon us as Chelsea FC hosts Arsenal in a blockbuster showdown that could\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":217,"featured_media":37366,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16506","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16506","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/217"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16506"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16506\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37366"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16506"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16506"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16506"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
