Arsenal will meet Chelsea today (April 23) in the English capital London derby. The match is part of the 29th round of the Premier League, but was postponed due to the commitments of the “blues” in domestic tournaments.
Arsenal and Chelsea stars in crisis decide the match?
On the side of the “gunners” we are talking about the Brazilian central striker Gabriel Jesus. The 27-year-old will be hoping his first goal since January comes in the London derby. We remind you that he punished the “blues” during the past campaign in the game of “Emirates”, which ended with 3:1 for the team from North London.

Noni Madueke is the “blue” footballer who can take matters into his own hands for the team from West London. He was the only Chelsea player to score in the 3-1 loss at the Emirates last season. The youngster arrived at Stamford Bridge in the winter of 2023 and can boast of just 7 goals in 39 games.
A curious fact
Goals in the London derby are guaranteed, and this is indicated by a curious statistic, namely: In 11 of Chelsea’s last 12 away games in the Premier League, both teams have scored.
