Arsenal vs Chelsea: The classic matches between the two sides during the Premier League era

Posted on March 1, 2019

Arsenal and Chelsea face off in the Premier League on Saturday evening and you can listen to the huge London derby LIVE on talkSPORT.

The rivalry stretches back over a number of years and they have shared countless classic matches together.

They also have a history of players playing for both during their careers, which has served to intensify that rivalry.

Here at talkSPORT.com, we have looked back at some of the best matches between the two teams in the Premier League era.

A managerless Arsenal were blown away by Chelsea in the first 45 minutes of this match and found themselves 2-0 down after goals from Frank Leboeuf and Gianluca Vialli.

The Gunners turned the game on its head, though, when goals from Paul Merson, Martin Keown and Ian Wright put them 3-2 up.

The Blues had the last laugh when Dennis Wise got an equaliser in this classic clash.
