The Blues now have the most wins in Premier League London derby matches thanks to their 2-1 victory over West Ham on Monday night.

Both Chelsea and Arsenal previously had 117 London derby wins apiece.

Premier League leaders Chelsea have ascertained 118 wins from 229 games, meaning they have taken 417 points from a possible 687.

Conte's side have beaten West Ham twice while they also claimed three points during their meeting with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park earlier this season.

The Italian changed his formation after seeing his side lose 3-0 at the Emirates but they have since exacted revenge by beating the north London side 3-1 at the Bridge.

They also beat Tottenham at home but could not replicate the result during the London duo's last clash at White Hart Lane as they fell to a 2-0 loss.

Chelsea are next in action against a fellow London club on April 1 when Sam Allardyce's Crystal Palace travel across the capital.

The Eagles have won just 16 of their London derbies with the Selhurst-based outfit currently sitting rock bottom.

QPR, Charlton, Wimbledon and Fulham — who all now ply their trade outside of the top-flight — are above the south London side.

West Ham are in fourth while Tottenham and Arsenal trail Chelsea in third and second consecutively.

London's Premier League sides have seven titles between them with Arsenal winning three and Chelsea having four in their trophy cabinet.
