Chelsea vs Arsenal live score, updates, highlights, result from Premier League London derby match
Arsenal will hope to underline their serious Premier League title credentials when they face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on October 21.
Mikel Arteta secured his first Premier League win over Pep Guardiola ahead of the international break as Gabriel Martinelli’s late winner sealed a 1-0 victory over defending champions Manchester City. That result followed a 2-2 draw with fierce rivals Tottenham and an impressive 4-0 victory at Bournemouth.
Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea picked up successive Premier League wins ahead of this match after struggling for results during the opening weeks of the season. Things are looking up at Stamford Bridge, but a showdown with the Gunners is a different prospect, and another setback could derail their building momentum.
Arsenal have won each of the past three league meetings with London rivals Chelsea and six of the most recent seven in all competitions. Can the Blues get a result this time?
The Sporting News will be following the Chelsea vs. Arsenal match live, providing score updates, commentary, and highlights as they happen.
