On November 30, 2025 at 19:30, the main match of the 13th round of the English Premier League will take place, the main derby of the current championship between the teams currently occupying the first and second places in the table. Chelsea will host Arsenal at their home stadium.
Teams form
Chelsea are not very stable. Sometimes they deliver fantastic matches, and then they may draw or even lose. Much depends on the leaders. Their physical condition and psychological readiness are very important for Enzo Maresca's team. Arsenal simply destroyed their opponents both in the Premier League and in the UEFA Champions League.
Chelsea current form
In the Premier League, Chelsea shows the most stable form. Big and bright victories alternate with unfortunate defeats. In the Premier League, they seem to have found their game and have won their last three matches. In the UEFA Champions League, the team also plays nervously: after beating Ajax 5:1, they drew with Qarabağ, but then confidently defeated Barcelona 3:0. The strength of home stands should not be forgotten. Both in the Champions League and Premier League, home stands help the team. They have scored 23 goals in the home championship and 12 goals in the UEFA Champions League.
Arsenal current form
The London club confidently moves toward their 14th title. Their fans have not enjoyed trophy wins for a long time. This season, they have only lost to Liverpool in the third round and drawn twice. All other matches were wins. Overall, the players have scored 24 goals, averaging 2 goals per game. In the UEFA Champions League, they left no chance for opponents, winning all matches with at least two goals scored. They scored a total of 14 goals in the UCL.

Main prediction for the Chelsea - Arsenal match
Chelsea – Arsenal L: forecast on event 30 November 2025
Arsenal Win
Arsenal demonstrates very high-quality and disciplined football. They will come to Stamford Bridge with one goal - to win and strengthen their lead. Chelsea will be helped by home advantage, and if they manage to score an early goal and then organize defense playing on counterattacks, they may still hope for a win. However, few believe in a home victory. This Arsenal is difficult to stop.
