Arsenal Clash With Chelsea in a Fiery Premier League Showdown—Live Score and Match Stats

The first major showdown of the 2026–27 Premier League campaign takes place on Sunday as defending champions Arsenal welcome Chelsea to their home ground.

Both clubs are looking to match Manchester City's perfect nine points from three matches, though at least one unbeaten run will be brought to an end in what is one of the most eagerly awaited fixtures in English football each season.

Recent form clearly favors Arsenal. Chelsea have failed to defeat the Gunners since August 2021, when Mikel Arteta's squad included the likes of Nicolas Pépé, Bernd Leno and Rob Holding. Reece James, who found the net on that occasion, remains the sole player from that Chelsea lineup still at the club.

Arsenal have gone on to record eight victories and three draws since then, claiming victory in each of the last three encounters between the two sides.
