Who Wins The London Derby?
The numbers say Arsenal hold a distinct edge in this matchup. Sitting second on the ladder with two wins from two, Mikel Arteta's side has compiled 4 goals scored with zero against. Coming off a 1–0 away win over Aston Villa on Tue, 1 Sept, Arsenal proved they can grind out results on the road. That followed a dominant 3–0 victory against Coventry City in their lone home game on Sat, 22 Aug.
Chelsea also boast a 2-0-0 record to sit fourth on the table, scoring 7 goals while conceding 5. The Blues are coming off a wild 4–3 home victory against Brighton & Hove Albion on Sun, 30 Aug, which followed a 3–2 away win over Fulham on Tue, 25 Aug. While their attacking output is impressive, conceding five goals in two starts highlights real defensive vulnerability.
