Arsenal also put in a stunning performance against Chelsea, having lost only twice in 16 competitive matches against the West London club. Manchester City and its Spanish manager Pep Guardiola are expected to get a boost from Chelsea's Brazilian trio: Joao Pedro, Stephano, and Andre Santos. On Sunday, in the London derby, they will try to stop the league leader Arsenal. However, 'The Gunners' have lost to their neighbors in the derby only once in the last 25 Premier League matches—a defeat to West Ham in February of this year. In the other encounters, they won 18 and drew 6. But statistics are one thing, and passion and energy are another. Chelsea has traveled to the Emirates Stadium 9 times while Arsenal was at the top of the table and has won there only once, a victory dating back to March 1948.
