London rivals Arsenal and Chelsea lock horns in English Premier League action at the Emirates Stadium today.

The English champion is looking to make home advantage count, but the Blues have also made a strong start to their season. We have the latest Arsenal vs Chelsea odds and best bets in this preview.

Arsenal vs Chelsea Odds, Prediction & Preview

Strong Start by the Gunners

Arsenal has started its 2026-27 season with three wins from three. After easing past Manchester City in the FA Community Shield in Wales, the Gunners kicked off their league campaign with a 3-0 home victory over newly promoted Coventry City.

The champion followed that up with a hard-fought triumph against Aston Villa last Monday. England international Bukayo Saka netted the only goal in a 1-0 Arsenal win at Villa Park.

Mikel Arteta’s men are looking to keep the momentum going with another victory here. Arsenal has yet to concede a goal and has looked superb in attack. As you expect, the host is the strong favourite to win this one.

Blues Easy on the Eye

Xabi Alonso has hit the ground running at Stamford Bridge, guiding Chelsea to three wins from three. The Blues’ mouth-watering attack has scored goals for fun, netting nine already.

Alonso started life at Chelsea with a London derby win at Fulham. His boys build on that with an EFL Cup victory over Luton Town before beating Brighton & Hove Albion 4-3 in EPL action at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea would love to keep the momentum going, but a trip to the Emirates is just about as tough as it gets these days. Nevertheless, Alonso will back his men to return to West London with a positive result in the bag.

Recent Head-to-Head Meetings

The London rivals met four times in the 2025-26 season, with Arsenal winning three and drawing one. The Gunners edged the league meeting at the Emirates in March, with William Saliba and Jurrien Timber netting in a 2-1 home win.

Arsenal is undefeated in 11 (eight wins, three draws). Chelsea’s last win came in EPL action at the Emirates in August 2021.

Arsenal vs Chelsea Odds

As anticipated, Arsenal is the strong favourite. Chelsea has started the season well, but getting anything at the Emirates will be a tall order for Alonso and his men.

Looking at bet365’s latest Premier League odds, the home team is available at just -143, while you can get +375 for a shock away victory.

Arsenal has an incredible record on home soil under Arteta, and the champion should see off Chelsea today. We like the look of bet365’s +175 for the home team to be winning at half time and full time.

Our Prediction: Arsenal HT/FT – +175, bet365

Arsenal vs Chelsea Picks

Bukayo Saka has started the season like a house on fire. The No.7 netted in the opening-day victory over Coventry before bagging the winner at Villa Park last week.

Not only has he scored two goals, but his overall play has been exceptional. The old Saka is well and truly back.

Arsenal may have won the Premier League title, but the winger was not at his best last term. However, he did end his season with a hat-trick for England against France in the 2026 FIFA World Cup bronze-medal match.

On his day, Saka is one of the deadliest players in England’s top tier, and the 25-year-old is looking to keep up his fine form by getting on the scoresheet in this London derby. Saka is the +187 favourite to score at any time.
