They have won three. Drawn two. They are good at the London matches. They have not lost many of their 25 London league games. They have won 18. Drawn six. Arsenal has also won all its home league matches against London teams this season.

Chelsea is also doing well. They have not lost under their coach, Liam Rosenior. They have won four. Drawn two.. They have drawn their last two games. Chelsea wants to finish in the top four. They have some problems. One of their players, Wesley Fofana, got sent off in his game. Chelsea has had a lot of discipline issues this season.
Arsenal and Chelsea have played 3 time already this season. Arsenal has also not lost to the Blues in their last 10 matches. They have won seven, drawn three. Arsenal has also beaten Chelsea at home consecutively without conceding any goals. Chelsea has struggled when they play against teams that are top of the league.
