Chelsea host Arsenal in the London derby on Sunday, a game sure to generate excitement.
The Gunners head to Stamford Bridge in search of a win after failing to impress in their last three Premier League accessories Defeats at the hands of Bournemouth and Newcastle United, as well as a draw at Liverpool, have put Arsenal’s chances of stealing the league title in jeopardy.
While the Blues endured a 1-1 draw against Manchester United in their first game without Erik ten Hag in charge after beating Newcastle 2-1.
Regardless of their last matches – meetings between Chelsea i arsenal they are always fighters, evoking some of the Premier League’s most unmissable stories.
Here are the results of their last ten meetings.
Arsenal produced a sensational performance against Chelsea in April, with former Blues star Kai Havertz scoring twice in the second half to cement the Gunners’ position at the top of the league table.
The north London side fired over their London counterparts, with almost all of their success coming in the final 45 minutes. Heading into the break with just a one-goal lead, both Ben White and Havertz found the back of the net before the hour mark, opening the floodgates for an eventual hammering.
Mikel Arteta called the clash, and Havertz’s performance, “unbelievable” at the time. Although Arsenal ultimately missed out on the league title, this performance allowed fans to dream a little more.
Arsenal’s clash with Chelsea in October 2023 was slightly less impressive, but the Gunners came from behind to take a point from their visit to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea star Cole Palmer, who is also expected to make an impact during Sunday’s game, scored the first goal of the game after being awarded a penalty thanks to a William Saliba handball. Mykhailo Mudryk was next to find the back of the net after capitalizing on a mistake by goalkeeper David Raya.
But, the west London outfit could not celebrate for long as their 2-0 lead was destroyed by a stunning strike from Declan Rice late in the game. Another Leandro Trossard effort split the action, maintaining Arsenal’s unbeaten record.
Arsenal secured another win over their local rivals in May 2023, returning to the top of the table once more as a result of their performance.
This time, it was Martin Odegaard who deserved the flowers, scoring a mesmerizing brace that neither Kepa Arrizabalaga nor Chelsea’s back line could prevent. Gabriel Jesús scored another for the red London side, taking advantage of his opponent’s weak lines.
A late strike from Noni Madueke was just enough to deny the Gunners a clean sheet.
