Arsenal vs Chelsea Competition – English Premier League Stadium: Emirates Stadium Date: 1st March 2026 Kick-off time – 16:30 GMT
Arsenal host Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon for a 16:30 GMT kick-off in a North London versus West London Premier League showdown that carries serious weight in the title conversation. The Gunners arrive in excellent form, with their most recent result a stunning 1-4 away win at Tottenham Hotspur on 22nd February. Prior to that, they drew 2-2 away at Wolverhampton Wanderers on 18th February. Earlier in the sequence, they won 4-0 at home to Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup and drew 1-1 away at Brentford, with a 3-0 home win over Sunderland also in this run. Arsenal have not lost in their last five matches across all competitions and head into the London derby in confident mood.
Chelsea head to the Emirates without a league win in their last three outings, their most recent result a 1-1 home draw with Burnley on 21st February. Prior to that, they drew 2-2 at home to Leeds United on 10th February. They did win 4-0 away at Hull City in the FA Cup on 13th February and also won 3-1 away at Wolverhampton Wanderers on 7th February — but the Blues have found consistent Premier League form elusive. Chelsea are carrying a significant injury burden, missing Levi Colwill, Roméo Lavia, Marc Cucurella, Filip Jörgensen, Wesley Fofana and Mykhailo Mudryk, with Jamie Gittens and Estêvão listed as doubtful.
The head-to-head record in the last five meetings is firmly in Arsenal’s favour — three wins to nil, with two draws and no Chelsea victories. Most recently, Arsenal won 1-0 at home in the Carabao Cup on 3rd February 2026, and also won 3-2 away at Chelsea in the Carabao Cup on 14th January 2026. Chelsea will need to end a miserable run in this fixture if they are to take anything from the Emirates on Sunday.

Arsenal (4-2-3-1) Raya, Timber, Saliba, Magalhães, Hincapié, Rice, Zubimendi, Saka, Eze, Trossard, Gyökeres

Chelsea: Levi Colwill (Out), Roméo Lavia (Out), Marc Cucurella (Out), Filip Jörgensen (Out), Wesley Fofana (Out), Mykhailo Mudryk (Out), Jamie Gittens (Doubtful), Estêvão (Doubtful)
Chelsea are severely undermined by their injury list, losing key defensive and midfield options across the board — Fofana and Colwill in defence, Lavia in midfield, and further attacking doubts over Gittens and Estêvão. Arsenal’s situation is far more manageable, with only Merino ruled out and Havertz uncertain.
