As the two biggest games of the season loom large, (Chelsea v Arsenal & Liverpool v Tottenham Hotspurs) in the Europa League and Uefa Champions League finals respectively) I thought it would be appropriate to review the previous 15 times each club played each other.
First up: Chelsea and Arsenal.

Key Stats:
- Arsenal have 1 more victory over Chelsea (6 to 5).
- Arsenal scored first in 5 of the 15 games played. Chelsea scored first in 7.
- Arsenal & Chelsea drew 3 of the 15 games (2 in the premier league, 1 in the league cup).
- Over that period, Eden Hazard is Chelsea’s top scorer (4), with Alexis Sanchez as Arsenal’s (2).
- Chelsea & Arsenal have scored 16 each over the past 15 games.
- Out of the 16 goals Arsenal have scored in the 15 games, 3 were scored by defenders (Bellerin, Kolasinac & Koscielny).
- Marcos Alonso has scored twice v Arsenal in the last 15 games.
- Both teams have conceded 1 own goal each (Chambers & Rudiger).
Safe to say that this will be a tense game between the two teams. Arsenal or Chelsea defender to score first anyone?
