Chelsea<\/strong><\/a> 2-0 up.<\/p>\n\n\n Soon after, things got even worse for the Gunners when Kieran Gibbs<\/strong> was sent off for handball in bizarre circumstances. Gibbs himself had not actually committed the handball offence. Referee Andre Marriner had just mistaken him for midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain<\/strong>. From the resulting penalty, Eden Hazard<\/strong> extended his side\u2019s lead to three goals.<\/p>\n\n\n After this, the Blues took their foot off the pedal somewhat but still managed to add three more. Two were scored by Oscar<\/strong> and the last was netted by a young forward by the name of Mohamed Salah<\/strong>. Wonder whatever happened to him…<\/p>\n\n\n The devastating result all but ended Arsenal\u2019s title hopes and put Chelsea in pole position. However, in the end, they did not have the legs, with Manchester City clinching top spot by two points come the end of the season.<\/p>\n\n

Our best estimate is to take a look at each club\u2019s social media following.<\/p>\n\n
\n Chelsea just edge it as of the end of 2020, boasting 93.2m followers across Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube and TikTok, compared with Arsenal\u2019s 76.4m.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n For match-going fans, things are different. Despite exuberant ticket prices, the Gunners\u2019 60,704-seater Emirates Stadium is much larger than Stamford Bridge, with its capacity of 40,834<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\nThe Best Arsenal Players Ever<\/h2>\n \n\n\n Thierry Henry\n <\/h3>\n \n\n \n Regarded by many as the best player to ever grace the Premier League<\/strong>, Thierry Henry\u2019s devastating mix of pace, technique and composure made him a nightmare to defend against.<\/p>\n\n\n The Frenchman gave the Highbury faithful a bucket load of iconic moments during his eight-year stint in North London, netting 174 goals and also chipping in with plenty of assists.<\/p>\n\n
\n Dennis Bergkamp\n <\/h3>\n \n\n \n It is impossible to include Henry without his partner-in-crime of many years, Dennis Bergkamp. Capable of doing things with a ball at his feet that others could only dream of, the Dutchman scored one of the all-time great Premier League goals<\/strong> in a game against Newcastle back in March 2002.<\/p>\n\n\n Pirouetting around Nikos Dabizas on the edge of the box, he fired an unstoppable strike into the net. The move was typical of Bergkamp\u2019s time in England.<\/p>\n\n
\n Tony Adams\n <\/h3>\n \n\n \n Nicknamed ‘Mr. Arsenal',<\/strong> Tony Adams started his Gunners career all the way back in 1983. The centre-back would go on to make over 500 league appearances for his boyhood club and win a host of major honours.<\/p>\n\n\n Bridging the gap between the old and the modern, Adams struggled with his share of personal demons, but never let his on-pitch performances waver.<\/p>\n\n
\n Cliff Bastin\n <\/h3>\n \n\n \n Had his career not been interrupted by the Second World War, Cliff Bastin would probably still be Arsenal\u2019s leading all-time goalscorer today<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n Part of Herbert Chapman\u2019s all-conquering Gunners side of the 1930s, his record of 150 goals stood unchallenged for many years. It was eventually broken by Ian Wright, and then Thierry Henry.<\/p>\n\n
\n Patrick Viera\n <\/h3>\n \n\n \n It is testament to Patrick Viera's otherworldly ability that Arsenal spent a decade trying to replace him, following his departure for Juventus in 2005. The all-action midfielder carried the team on his shoulders during his nine years at the club.<\/p>\n\n
\n There was very little he could not do<\/strong>, from breaking up play and controlling things from deep to chipping in with important goals.<\/p>\n\nThe Best Chelsea Players Ever<\/h2>\n \n\n\n John Terry\n <\/h3>\n \n\n \n Captain. Leader. Legend<\/strong>. That is how a banner seen on match days at Stamford Bridge describes John Terry, and we could not have put it better ourselves. Throughout 19 years in West London, the defender was ever-present in the side.<\/p>\n\n\n He would win five Premier League titles, five FA Cups and even a Champions League during his time at the club – although he would miss the final through suspension.<\/p>\n\n
\n Frank Lampard\n <\/h3>\n \n\n \n One of the best midfielders of all time<\/strong>, Frank Lampard may have not lasted long as Chelsea manager, but his playing career will linger long in fans' collective memory.<\/p>\n\n\n The timing of Lampard\u2019s runs into the box were scarily good, and they would see him score 147 Premier League goals during his time at Chelsea. A host of other major honours would come as well.<\/p>\n\n
\n Ron Harris\n <\/h3>\n \n\n \n He may be an unfamiliar name for younger fans, but for Chelsea supporters in the 1960s and 1970s, no one was better loved than Ron \u2018Chopper\u2019 Harris.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n The tenacious defender is the Blues\u2019 all-time leader appearance maker, with 795 games in 20 years. He was also part of the teams that won the FA Cup in 1970 and the European Cup Winners\u2019 Cup one year later.<\/p>\n\n
\n Didier Drogba\n <\/h3>\n \n\n \n Dider Drogba was the ultimate big-game player<\/strong>. The Ivorian striker scored nine goals in his 10 major finals at Chelsea. This included a vital equaliser in the Champions League final against Bayern Munich, a game in which he also converted the winning penalty.<\/p>\n\n\n During his eight-year stint at Chelsea he managed exactly 100 Premier League goals, firmly establishing himself as a fan-favourite in the process.<\/p>\n\n
\n Gianfranco Zola\n <\/h3>\n \n\n \n It did not take long for Chelsea fans to fall in love with Gianfranco Zola<\/strong> after he arrived at Stamford Bridge in 1996.<\/p>\n\n\n At the time, Serie A was the best league in the world and diminutive number tens were all the rage. Zola was one of the very best, gliding across the pitch effortlessly and scoring a truckload of brilliant goals. He left in 2003 as an all-time Premier League favourite among Blues fans and neutrals alike.<\/p>\n\n
