Arsenal went undefeated in the Premier League against their London rivals from September 1995 to August 2005 but are now on the other side of the things with Chelsea retaining bragging rights since 2011.

After Claudio Ranieri's Chelsea defeated the Gunners at the Champions League in 2004, from then on Arsene Wenger has won just 5 of those 26 meetings and lost 16 including a humiliating 6-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge in his 1000th game in charge of Arsenal.
The Frenchman who is celebrating two decades at Arsenal this week looks to end the jinx by defeating Antonio Conte’s men on Saturday.
