#2 Arsenal vs Chelsea
Probably the most awaited game out of all the ones on this list, Chelsea vs Arsenal is a rivalry whose importance increased in the 2000’s as the former rose to prominence.
This fixture has seen some of the most memorable scorelines and moments in Premier League history, most recently a Jose Mourinho-led Chelsea demolishing Arsenal 6-0 on the eve of Arsene Wenger’s 1000th game in charge.
Both sets of fans leave no stone unturned before and when this match arrives, and the banter and the feeling of intense rivalry between the club in the modern era makes it one of the best rivalries in not just England, but the whole of Europe. This is one of those games that you just HAVE to win – the bragging rights that go with it are immense, and more often than not in recent years, the game has a great effect on the Premier League title race.
Arsenal currently lead Chelsea in the all-time win department with 73 wins to 61, but the latter have upped their game in the last decade and have been the dominating team for the most part during that time.
