The London derby between Arsenal and Chelsea is one of the most fiercely contested matchups in the Premier League. Arsene Wenger's Arsenal side have been playing Chelsea since the latter's promotion to the Premiership in 2004, and their rivalry has been intense ever since. Both sides have experienced highs and lows in their respective tenures at the top of the league, but in recent years, it has been Chelsea who have emerged as the top dogs in the capital, winning the Premier League title in the 2015/16 and 2017/18 seasons.
The two teams have met over forty times in the Premier League, with Chelsea winning 21 of those matches, with 15 draws and Arsenal winning just 6. Chelsea have enjoyed a strong record against their London rivals in the past few seasons, going unbeaten since a 2-0 loss in the 2015/16 season, and winning four out of their last six games.
Both sides come into the game with plenty of confidence, as Arsenal are unbeaten in three matches, while Chelsea have won four from their last five. Arsenal's defence, however, will face a tough test in the form of the Blues' attack, which has been in fine form in recent weeks, scoring eleven goals in their last five league games.
The game is sure to be a tense affair as both sides look to gain an edge in the race for a top four finish in the league. With both teams in good form, it promises to be an exciting clash.
