Arsenal vs Chelsea: Who are the top 5 goal scorers in the history of London derby?

As Arsenal prepares to host Chelsea in the Premier League London derby on Sunday with pressure already on the Gunners to cause an upset, we decided to take a look at the players who have scored the most number of goals in North West London Derby.

Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta’s side has had something of a frustrating transfer window despite the £50m arrival of Ben White and stumbled into the new season with a 2-0 opening-day defeat at newly-promoted Brentford.

No doubt Arsenal and Chelsea had contrasting starts to their Premier League campaign last weekend.

While Chelsea was off to a flying start with a convincing 3-0 win over Crystal Palace, Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal suffered a shocking loss to new boys Brentford City who returned to top-flight football after a gap of 74 years.

After a solid start to their campaign, the Blues will now be further boosted as new signing Romelu Lukaku, who re-joined the club this summer for a club-record transfer fee of £97.5, is likely to be part of the matchday squad this Sunday.

Although anything can happen in London Derby, the Champions League holders are expected to be serious title contenders this term – especially after re-signing £97.5m Romelu Lukaku.

The Blues brushed off Crystal Palace 3-0 last weekend, and Thomas Tuchel will be confident of three more points in north London, but as we said anything can happen in a Derby.
