Since taking over as Arsenal boss in 2019, Mikel Arteta has racked up an impressive record against Chelsea. In the 11 meetings he has overseen, the Spaniard has been victorious on seven occasions, drawn two and lost two.

Arteta is unbeaten in his side's five visits to Stamford Bridge throughout his time as Gunners manager. Arsenal have won three of these games, with the other two ending as draws.

There is no doubt that Arteta will want to continue this good record against the Blues on Sunday. He should fancy his chances considering his side is arguably superior to a still somewhat inexperienced Chelsea side. The Spaniard also holds more experience than Blues manager and fellow Pep Guardiola mentee Enzo Maresca. Arteta certainly has a great chance to continue his impressive record against Chelsea on Sunday.
