Chelsea will visit the Emirates Stadium this evening, hoping to achieve their first away win against Arsenal since 2021 and maintain their Champions League ambitions.
Chelsea is on a positive track under manager Liam Rosenior, currently placed fifth in the Premier League. Rosenior’s team recently drew 1–1 at home against Burnley, extending his unbeaten start in the league. The team has won both of their away league matches under his management, and he could be the first English manager in over ten years to win his first three Premier League away games.
Chelsea Team News
Rosenior is handling a squad facing significant defensive issues due to suspensions and long-term injuries. Wesley Fofana is absent after receiving a red card against Burnley, which means Tosin Adarabioyo is set to start in central defense. Reece James has been cleared to play and will captain the team. Chelsea has dropped 19 points this season from winning positions, a trend they need to change to get a positive outcome at the Emirates.
Robert Sánchez will be in goal, likely backed by a defense that includes Trevoh Chalobah and Benoît Badiashile. In midfield, Moisés Caicedo, who was sent off in the previous encounter, will play alongside Enzo Fernández. Cole Palmer and Pedro Neto will operate from the wings, supporting João Pedro in the forward position. Historically, Chelsea has struggled against league leaders away from home, losing eight of their last nine encounters.
Chelsea Predicted Lineup
Chelsea Predicted XI: Sanchez; James, Chalobah, Badiashile, Gusto; Caicedo, Santos, Fernández; Palmer, Neto, Pedro
