(*) Na partida de 22 de março de 1950, segundo jogo da semifinal da FA Cup, houve empate em 0 a 0 no tempo normal, e o Arsenal venceu por 1 a 0 na prorrogação. Para a estatística do confronto, estou contando o placar somando tempo normal e prorrogação.

(**) Oficialmente, o jogo de 22 de março de 2014, Chelsea 6 x 0 Arsenal, é tido como a maior goleada da história do clássico. No entanto, na Liga de Guerra, disputada não-oficialmente durante a I Guerra Mundial, houve a partida Chelsea 9 x 0 Arsenal, em 21 de abril de 1916.

(***) A partida de 27 de maio de 2017, Arsenal 2 x 1 Chelsea, decisão da FA Cup, teve o maior público da história do clássico: 89.472 pessoas no lendário Wembley Stadium, em Londres. O jogo de 12 de outubro de 1935 é o maior público de toda a história do Chelsea como mandante (82.905 pessoas).

(****) No jogo de 6 de agosto de 2017, a disputa de pênaltis foi feita no novo sistema ABBA: o Chelsea fez a 1ª, a 4ª e a 5ª cobranças (convertendo somente a 1ª), e o Arsenal fez a 2ª, a 3ª, a 6ª e a 7ª (convertendo todas). O sistema ABBA é uma tentativa de minimizar a vantagem do time que cobra primeiro. O placar da disputa de pênaltis não está sendo contabilizado na estatística do confronto.

Vinte e oito jogadores já defenderam tanto Arsenal quanto Chelsea. São eles, em ordem cronológica: Sandy McFarlane, Joe Bradshaw, Jimmy Sharp, Bob Turnbull, Tommy Lawton, Bill Dickson, Tommy Docherty, John O'Rourke, Allan Young, Tommy Baldwin, George Graham, Alan Hudson, Graham Rix, John Hollins, Clive Allen, Peter Nicholas, David Rocastle, Colin Pates, Nicolas Anelka, Emmanuel Petit, Ashley Cole, Steve Sidwell, Cesc Fàbregas, William Gallas, Lassana Diarra, Yossi Benayoun, Petr Cech e Olivier Giroud.
