The last time these teams met in the Premier League was in August, when Arsenal left Old Trafford with a 1-0 victory.

This time, a huge 15-point gulf separates these Premier League giants, but with Michael Carrick now at the helm, Manchester United travel to North London full of belief after a famous derby win.

It's a Premier League spectacle on Sunday, January 25, 2026, as league leaders Arsenal host a resurgent Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium.

🔬 What to Expect From Both Teams👀

 

🔴Arsenal | EPL Form: W🟢W🟢W🟢W🟢D🟡D🟡

Mikel Arteta's side swiftly returned to winning ways with a 3-1 Champions League victory at Inter Milan in midweek. They begin the weekend with a seven-point cushion at the summit.

The "Emirates factor" has been pivotal, with the Gunners conceding a maximum of one goal in each of their 16 home matches this campaign.

 

⚫Manchester United | EPL Form: L🔴W🟢D🟡D🟡D🟡W🟢

Michael Carrick's men arrive with confidence sky-high after a 2-0 masterclass victory over Manchester City. The win extended their unbeaten league run to five games.

Their attack is firing, but a leaky away defence that has failed to keep a clean sheet on their travels faces its ultimate test at the Emirates.

 

 👥 Predicted Lineups 👥

 

🔴Arsenal (possible): Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie, Odegaard, Zubimendi, Rice, Saka, Gyokeres, Trossard.

⚫Manchester United (possible): Lammens, Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw, Mainoo, Casemiro, Diallo, Fernandes, Dorgu, Mbeumo.

 

 🔥 Matchups & Players to Watch 👀

 

✨ Viktor Gyokeres – Favoured to lead the line for Arsenal. His physical presence will be key to unlocking the United defence.

✨ Bruno Fernandes – The creative heartbeat of United. He created six chances against Man City and is the main source of ammunition.

✨ Bukayo Saka – Expected to start on the right flank for the Gunners. His trickery will be crucial for Arsenal's goalscoring chances.

✨ Bryan Mbeumo – Scored in the derby win, and his pace poses a major threat to Arsenal's high defensive line.

The last time Crystal Palace defeated Chelsea was in October 2017, a 2-1 victory at Selhurst Park. This time, a struggling Eagles side welcomes their crosstown rivals again, only this time, to face a Chelsea team aiming to build momentum.

It's Premier League action on Sunday, January 25, as Chelsea travel to Selhurst Park to face a Crystal Palace side mired in a deep winless run. Blues boss Liam Rosenior will be aiming for consecutive league wins for the first time since November.

 

📈Team Form📉

 

🔹 Crystal Palace: Thirteenth in the Premier League table.

🔸 Chelsea: Sixth in the Premier League table, trailing the top four by two points.

 

📊Key Stats & Head-to-Head 📊

 

🔥 Crystal Palace are winless in their last 10 matches in all competitions.

🔥 Chelsea have won three of their last four matches in all competitions.

🔥 Crystal Palace are winless in 17 consecutive matches against Chelsea.

🔥 Palace have failed to score in four of their last seven home matches.

 

🔬 What to Expect From Both Teams👀

 

🔵Crystal Palace | Form: L🔴L🔴D🟡L🔴D🟡L🔴

Oliver Glasner's side is in turmoil, winless in ten with key players departed and star striker Jean-Philippe Mateta wanting to leave. They last won at Selhurst Park in the league at the start of November.

The Eagles must turn the tide in South London, where supporters have not witnessed a win since early November. Mateta remains their decisive threat, with six of his eight goals coming at home.

 

⚫Chelsea | Form: D🟡L🔴D🟡D🟡L🔴W🟢

Liam Rosenior's side seeks consecutive Premier League wins for the first time since November after an unconvincing 2-0 win over Brentford. A victory could lift them into the Champions League places.

The Blues hope to leverage recent winning feeling to secure their first success in this fixture in nearly two years and end a five-match winless away streak in the league.

 

👥 Predicted Lineups 👥

 

🔵Crystal Palace (possible):

Henderson, Richards, Lacroix, Lerma, Devenny, Wharton, Hughes, Mitchell, Johnson, Pino, Mateta.

 

⚫Chelsea (possible):

Sanchez, James, Chalobah, Badiashile, Cucurella, Caicedo, Fernandez, Neto, Palmer, Garnacho, Pedro.

 

🔥 Matchups & Players to Watch 👀

 

✨ Jean-Philippe Mateta — Palace's top scorer with eight goals. Available and remains their leading game-deciding threat, especially at Selhurst.

✨ Cole Palmer — Chelsea's best player. Expected to return to the starting XI after missing the midweek match with a minor thigh issue.

✨ João Pedro — Chelsea's most decisive marksman this season with three game-winning goals. Will lead the line.

✨ Caicedo — Should start in midfield ahead of Reece James, whose minutes will be managed after returning from careful rehabilitation.

 

💵 Odds Market on MSport 💵

 

💵 Crystal Palace/Home to win = 3.59

💵 Chelsea/Away to win = 2.09

💵 Both teams to score (GG/NG Yes) = 1.66

💵 Over 2.5 total goals = 1.77

 

This clash presents a classic clash of contexts: a Chelsea side searching for consistency under a new manager faces a Palace team desperate to end a dismal run and a near-decade-long hoodoo against their rivals.

With Selhurst Park starving for a victory, the stage is set for a tense London derby.

📈Team Form📉

 

🔹 Chelsea: Lie two points off the automatic last-16 places in the Champions League league phase.

🔬 What to Expect From Both Teams👀

 

🔵Chelsea | UEFA CL Form: L🔴W🟢W🟢D🟡W🟢L🔴:

Competing in their fourth different tournament in four games, interim boss Liam Rosenior takes charge of his first Champions League match. All of Chelsea's European setbacks this season have come away from home.

They have bested Barcelona, Ajax, and Benfica at Stamford Bridge and will be confident of extending their formidable home unbeaten streak to enhance their knockout stage prospects.

 

⚪Pafos FC | UEFA CL Form: D🟡L🔴D🟡W🟢D🟡L🔴:

The Cypriot side has not just made up the numbers in their debut campaign, taking points off Villarreal, Monaco, and Olympiacos. However, they travel to London with significant injury concerns in defence.

Their continental away struggles are a major concern, as they are yet to score a Champions League goal on their travels and are firm underdogs for their first-ever meeting with an English club.

 

👥 Predicted Lineups 👥

 

🔵Chelsea (possible):

Sanchez; Acheampong, Fofana, Badiashile, Hato; Fernandez, Santos; George, Pedro, Garnacho; Delap.

 

⚪Pafos FC (possible):

Michail; Bruno, Luckassen, Langa, Pileas; Pepe, Sunjic, Quina; Dragomic, Silva, Orsic.

 

🔥 Matchups & Players to Watch 👀

 

✨ Andrey Santos — Expected to start in Chelsea's rotated midfield, offering energy and forward drive.

✨ Estevao — Could be handed a chance on the wing and will look to exploit any defensive uncertainty.

✨ Derrick Luckassen — The brother of striker Brian Brobbey may have to partner a makeshift centre-back in Pafos' injury-hit defence.

✨ Liam Delap — A likely starter up front for Chelsea, aiming to extend the team's European scoring run.

 

💵 Odds Market on MSport 💵

 

💵 Chelsea/Home to win = 1.17

💵 Pafos/Away to win = 19.20

💵 Both teams to score (GG/NG Yes) = 2.17

💵 Over 2.5 total goals = 1.39

 

This clash pits European pedigree against resilient newcomers. Chelsea's powerful home form suggests a comfortable night, but Pafos have already shown they can surprise more illustrious foes.
