On Sunday, the attention of the fans of the "Premier" League will be captivated by the London derby - "Arsenal" and "Chelsea" clubs will face each other at the "Emirates" stadium. Here are some interesting facts.
- Arsene Wenger's students are haunted by a real goal drought against the "Blues". This phenomenon has been going on in the English championship for eight hours and two minutes.
- If the "Gunners" fail to once again overcome the opponent's goalkeeper, they will repeat their anti-record - the longest series against opponents would extend to six matches (like against "Liverpool" in 1997-2000).
