Arsenal vs. Coventry: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 77

Arsenal wins: 44

Draws: 19

Coventry City wins: 14

Arsenal and Coventry City have locked horns on 77 previous occasions, and it is the Gunners that lead the overall head-to-head record, having posted 44 wins to the latter's 14, while there have been 19 draws.

The pair have met on 19 occasions in the Premier League, with Arsenal winning 11 of those encounters, while Coventry have posted just three victories, with the further five games finishing level.

The 2026-27 opener was the first Premier League clash between the two teams since February 2001, when Arsenal ran out 1-0 winners courtesy of a goal from Dennis Bergkamp, and they convincingly bettered that scoreline at the Emirates.

Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard's goals gave Arsenal a deserved 3-0 win, one that also marked Mikel Arteta's 150th victory as a Premier League head coach.

Coventry's last league success over Arsenal was a 3-2 win in December 1999, while they have only ever beaten the Gunners once away from home in England's top flight - a 3-0 victory in August 1993.

Arsenal are on a six-game winning run against Coventry, including a 4-0 victory in their last non-league meeting, which came in the fourth round of the FA Cup in January 2014.

Frank Stapleton is the all-time leading goalscorer in this particular fixture, having netted nine times for Arsenal against Coventry during his time with the Gunners.
