Match Details
Arsenal v Chelsea takes place on Saturday, September 5, 2026 at Emirates Stadium. The kick-off time and UK broadcast details for this fixture are still to be confirmed by the Premier League.
Emirates Stadium
Emirates Stadium has been Arsenal's home since 2006, replacing the legendary Highbury after 93 years. Located in Holloway, North London, the stadium holds approximately 60,704 supporters, making it the fourth-largest in the Premier League. The modern arena features the famous "Arsenalisation" project which brought iconic elements from Highbury, including statues of club legends Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp and Tony Adams, plus the relocated Highbury clock. The stadium is easily accessible via Arsenal tube station on the Piccadilly line or Finsbury Park and Highbury & Islington on the Victoria line. The club is exploring expansion plans to increase capacity beyond 70,000 as part of its 20th anniversary celebrations in 2026.
Head-to-Head Record
This is one of English football's most compelling rivalries, with over 210 meetings since 1907. Arsenal hold the overall advantage with 86 wins to Chelsea's 66, with 62 draws. In Premier League encounters, the Gunners lead with 27 victories compared to 20 for Chelsea. Arsenal have dominated this fixture in recent seasons, with their last league defeat to Chelsea coming several years ago. That run included a memorable 5-0 demolition at Emirates Stadium in April 2024 when Kai Havertz scored twice against his former club. The Gunners also defeated Chelsea over two legs in the 2025-26 EFL Cup semi-final on their way to Wembley. Chelsea's record win in this fixture was a 6-0 thrashing at Stamford Bridge in March 2014, while Didier Drogba holds the record for most goals in this derby with 13.
Last Meeting: Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea (March 1, 2026)
The most recent encounter saw Arsenal edge a hard-fought London derby at Emirates Stadium. William Saliba headed the hosts in front from a Bukayo Saka corner midway through the first half, before an own goal from Chelsea defender Piero Hincapié — turning in another corner — levelled the score on the stroke of half-time. Arsenal regained the lead just past the hour mark when Jurriën Timber rose highest to meet a Declan Rice delivery. Chelsea, reduced to ten men, pushed for an equaliser but the Gunners' defence held firm to secure all three points. Both Arsenal goals came from set-pieces, underlining a familiar strength in this fixture and extending their unbeaten league run against the Blues.
Arsenal 2026-2027 Season
Arsenal begin the 2026-2027 campaign as reigning Premier League champions. Under Mikel Arteta — named Premier League Manager of the Season — the Gunners ended a 22-year wait for the title in 2025/26, topping the table with the league's best defensive record after three consecutive runner-up finishes. They also reached the Champions League final for the first time in two decades, narrowly losing to Paris Saint-Germain on penalties, and finished as EFL Cup runners-up. The title-winning core remains the spine of the team: Bukayo Saka, captain Martin Ødegaard, William Saliba, Declan Rice, Gabriel Magalhães and striker Viktor Gyökeres, supported by the likes of Martin Zubimendi, Piero Hincapié and Eberechi Eze. With the squad now chasing both domestic and European honours, Arteta's task is to prove the champions can sustain their level.
Chelsea 2026-2027 Season
Chelsea arrive at the Emirates in transition. A turbulent 2025/26 season — which saw Enzo Maresca leave at the turn of the year, Liam Rosenior take temporary charge, and the club eventually finish 10th — has been followed by another fresh start. Xabi Alonso was appointed manager on a four-year contract ahead of the 2026-2027 season, arriving with a strong reputation built at Bayer Leverkusen and Real Madrid. He inherits a young, talented squad built around Cole Palmer and forward João Pedro, with the clear brief of restoring Chelsea to the European places. An early-season trip to face the champions will be an immediate test of how quickly Alonso can stamp his identity on the side.
