Team News

Quotes
"I don't want to say [the race is over], but today the frustration is that we haven't won our game, we know the urgency and you're obligated to win every single match," Arteta said after the 1-1 draw with Man United. “You won't have any chance of doing that, I don't think it's the right moment to talk about that.”
Head-to-Head
In head-to-head stats, Arsenal and Chelsea have met in 210 matches across all competitions since 1907. The Gunners have claimed 84 wins compared to 66 for the Blues, while 60 games have been drawn.
The teams last met in a Premier League clash in November 2024, playing to a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge after goals from Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal) and Ledro Neto (Chelsea).
