Arsenal vs Chelsea: Gunners Aim to Break 20-Year-Old Record Against the Blues

In a crucial match for both teams, Arsenal will be looking to avoid a fifth consecutive winless run when they face fellow strugglers Chelsea.

The Gunners have had the upper hand in recent meetings between the two sides, winning five out of their last six matches in all competitions, apart from a 2-0 Premier League defeat at the Emirates Stadium in August 2021.

If Arsenal manage to beat Chelsea in this match, they will achieve a feat they haven’t accomplished since the 2003-2004 season, by winning three consecutive league games against the Blues.

However, the Gunners will have to overcome their recent form, as they are currently winless in their last four matches, with three draws and one defeat.

One bright spot for Arsenal has been the impressive form of Brazilian forward Gabriel Martinelli, who has scored 15 Premier League goals in the 2022-23 season, the most goals scored by a Brazilian player in a single season.

Martinelli has already surpassed Roberto Firmino’s record of 15 goals for Liverpool during the 2017-18 season.

On the other hand, Chelsea have been struggling since Frank Lampard’s return to the job, losing all five league and cup games.

This is their longest losing streak since the six months from October to November 1993. Lampard will be hoping to turn things around and avoid a dubious record by becoming the worst coach in Chelsea’s history.

Overall, this match promises to be a fierce battle between two teams eager to climb up the Premier League table and avoid relegation.

The Gunners will be looking to continue their recent dominance over Chelsea, while the Blues will be looking to turn their fortunes around and secure a much-needed victory.
