EPL: Chelsea, Arsenal set for London derby as Man City hosts struggling Leeds

By Daily Sports Nigeria on November 28, 2025

Chelsea welcome Arsenal to Stamford Bridge on Sunday in one of the standout fixtures of this weekend’s Premier League action, with both sides aiming to strengthen their positions in an increasingly competitive title race.

Arsenal’s sharp, well-drilled attack meets a Chelsea side searching for sustained consistency in what could be a decisive early-season test.

Elsewhere, Manchester City host a Leeds United team battling poor form and defensive instability. City—dominant at home and determined to keep pressure on the league leaders—enter as heavy favourites, while Leeds chase a much-needed positive result to halt their slide down the table.

Their frontline has been incisive, their pressing coordinated, and their midfield balance increasingly refined under Mikel Arteta.

With pace in wide areas and strong rotational play through midfield, Arsenal are expected to control possession for long stretches.

Even so, Chelsea’s counter-attacking threat could offer the hosts a route to unsettle the visitors.

Arsenal remain unbeaten in the Premier League since their August 31 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield, while Chelsea look to build on the momentum of their commanding 3–0 Champions League victory over Barcelona.

For both clubs, the stakes extend beyond local bragging rights.

A win at Stamford Bridge would deliver a significant psychological boost in the chase for the league’s frontrunners, while defeat could expose early vulnerabilities in a campaign where margins are expected to be razor-thin.

Liverpool host West Ham United at Anfield this weekend in a Premier League fixture that carries more weight than usual.

The Reds, traditionally dominant against the Hammers, are under pressure after a poor run of recent results, while West Ham see an opportunity to upset the script and claim a rare away victory.

Liverpool have struggled for form, losing nine of their last 12 games across all competitions.

Defensive lapses and a lack of attacking sharpness have plagued Jurgen Klopp’s side, leaving fans and pundits questioning whether the squad can rediscover its rhythm.

A win against West Ham would be a vital confidence boost as the season approaches its mid-point.
