Arsenal vs Chelsea – All-time Premier League Combined XI
Arsenal and Chelsea have competed for the title of the capital’s biggest club in the Premier League era with the London neighbours having been home to some of the division’s greatest-ever talent.
Ahead of their meeting at the Emirates this evening, we’ve attempted to select a Combined XI of the best players to have represented Arsenal and Chelsea in the Premier League.
Goalkeeper: Petr Cech – Chelsea and Arsenal
Petr Cech represented both clubs in the Premier League and, in the process, cemented a reputation as one of the Premier League’s greatest guardians of the goal. A £7m snip when signed from Rennes, he helped Chelsea to a maiden Premier League title in his debut campaign, one of four he won at Stamford Bridge, with a record-low of 15 goals conceded. His finest triumph came in 2012 when he starred in Chelsea’s Champions League final win over Bayern Munich. After saving a penalty from Arjen Robben in extra-time, he saved two more in the shootout as the Blues became the first London side to win the trophy.
