Arsenal vs Chelsea: Complete head-to-head record over the last 11 matches

 


Both Arsenal and Chelsea will put their 100% records on the line at the Emirates on Sunday





Before a ball was kicked this season, experts and onlookers alike were wondering who, if anyone, would be capable of challenging champions Arsenal for the Premier League title. Well, two games in, most seem to have decided that this team will be Chelsea.

Xabi Alonso's side have so far enjoyed wins over Fulham and Brighton, as well as Luton in the EFL Cup, which has led to many deciding that the Blues, who finished tenth last season, lest we forget, are bona fide title contenders.

Nevertheless, Chelsea will surely provide Arsenal with a serious test of their credentials come Sunday afternoon, in a match that feels enormous, even at this early stage. Well, any Gooners of a particularly nervous disposition will be reassured by how Mikel Arteta's team have performed against the Blues in recent years.

    Since the start of 2022, these two London rivals have met 11 times, with Arsenal winning eight of them and losing none. This is quite the contrast compared to what came before. Between 2004 and 2015, the pair met 28 times across all competitions, which produced a miserly four Arsenal wins.

    That though has flipped dramatically. Since a 2-1 win for Frank Lampard's team in 2019, this coming in only Mikel Arteta's second game in charge, the Blues have won only one of 16 encounters with the Gunners, while Arteta and his team have enjoyed 11 victories. Of the 18 clubs Arteta has met ten or more times as a manager, only against Leeds United, Leicester City, Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton Wanderers does he boast a higher points-per-game.

    The two clubs clashes in the Carabao Cup semi-finals earlier this year, with Arsenal 3-2 winners at Stamford Bridge, before a last-gasp 1-0 victory at home sparked wild celebrations.

    That was Havertz's third goal for Arsenal against Chelsea at the Emirates, which is more goals than the Blues themselves have scored in N5 for over five years. Chelsea's only two goals at the Emirates since 2021 have been a Piero Hincapié own goal, while the other was scored by Noni Madueke.

    Arteta's team have drawn their last three Premier League visits to Stamford Bridge, a streak they'll be seeking to end when the pair clash on the King's Road in early-March. At home however, it has been pure domination, winning the duo's last five encounters at the Emirates, including a 5-0 demolition in 2024. Before this sequence of five in a row, Arsenal had won only six of 21 home matches against their hated cross-city rivals since the Invincibles season.

    So, what will happen in Sunday's blockbuster encounter? So far this year, Alonso's team have enjoyed a 3-2 victory at Craven Cottage, before last weekend's crazy 4-3 win over Brighton & Hove Albion at Stamford Bridge. Of course, the Morgan Rogers, Cole Palmer and João Pedro front three has looked exhilarating and frightening, but Arteta will surely be looking forward to facing a side that has shipped five goals in two games.

    Across these matches too, the Blues' opponents have racked up seven big chances, attempted 29 shots, of which 12 have been on target, and accumulated an xG figure of 1.74. Most interesting of all though is the fact that Chelsea had just 38% possession against Fulham, and then only 26% a week ago.

    The latter was the lowest they have ever recorded in any Premier League match since records began. These are both partially due to the fact Chelsea have gone in front after just 30 seconds and then three and a half minutes, changing the game-state.

    On the flip side, Arteta's team are yet to concede a goal in three matches this season, while defeated Aston Villa mustered zero shots on target on Monday. This sets up a fascinating fixture this weekend, one thaat Gooners will hope goes the same way as Chelsea's recent visits to North London.
