The victory over Tottenham helps Arsenal re-establish a 5-point gap at the top of the Premier League. Except for Declan Rice's mistake leading to Randal Kolo Muani's equalizer, this is a dominant performance of the "Gunners".
However, Man City has narrowed the gap to 2 points after the victory over Leeds. Therefore, pressure will weigh heavily on Arsenal before welcoming Chelsea at the Emirates.
Arsenal has only lost one of their last 25 London derbies in the Premier League (18 wins, 6 draws). The only defeat was against West Ham United. Since the beginning of the 2022-2023 season, Arsenal has only been silent in 2 of their 44 London derbies - both against West Ham.
Meanwhile, Liam Rosenior's Chelsea just dropped 2 points in the last minute against Burnley, but they had a week to prepare for this away trip. The two teams met in the Carabao Cup semi-finals, where Arsenal won 4-2 overall. In the second leg, Chelsea launched 14 shots but only 2 were on target (xG 0.64), and Kai Havertz scored the decisive goal.
The first leg in November last year ended 1-1, with Mikel Merino's equalizer for Arsenal at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea then also played with one less player after Moises Caicedo's red card. Chelsea has received 6 red cards this season, and Rosenior needs to ensure that the team maintains better discipline.
Notably, Arteta's Arsenal also scored 31 goals against Chelsea - more than any other opponent he has faced as "Gunners" coach.
