This London derby typically throws some spectacular fixtures our way, but both Arsenal and Chelsea find themselves in stuttering form heading into this evening’s clash at the Emirates. Below, we take you through a comprehensive Arsenal vs Chelsea stats pack that may serve as a helpful indicator as to what may unfold on Tuesday.
Arsenal vs Chelsea Stats Pack
Chelsea’s Horrid Form
- The Blues have lost each of their five fixtures since Frank Lampard returned as interim manager.
- They are in the midst of their worse losing streak since 1993.
- April was a particularly dismal month for Chelsea – they scored just once across their seven games, which is as many as they netted for the opposition after Cesar Azpilicueta’s own goal against Brentford.
- Beginning this evening, they will need to register five points from their remaining six games if they are to avoid their worst ever Premier League points tally.
- Opta‘s supercomputer has given Chelsea an 11% chance of finishing in the top-half (currently six points adrift). They are also 2/9 across UK bookmakers to finish in the bottom-half.
Arsenal’s End-of-Season Stutter Right on Cue
- Arsenal are winless in their previous four games, which has seen their eight point lead at the summit diminish.
- They can move two points ahead of rivals Manchester City, albeit having played two more games than the champions.
- If they do go on to lose the title race, they can set the record for the longest time spent in pole position without lifting the trophy (93% of the season).
- Nevertheless, the last time the Gunners collected this many points was a decade ago in the 2013/14 season (79).
Arsenal vs Chelsea Head-to-Head Stats
- Arsenal can win a third successive league fixture against Chelsea – a feat they have not achieved since 2004.
- Chelsea were victorious in the repeat of the this game last season – only four of Arsenal’s XI from that match day two fixture are expected to feature in midweek.
- The Blues have won just once in the previous seven meetings.
