Biggest London derby wins in Premier League history - ranked
It may have been in London where the Football Association was founded over a few pints at the Freemasons' Tavern in Lincoln Inn Fields but the capital couldn't boast a top-flight club until the 17th season of the Football League.
However, the division was awash with London representatives by the Premier League's inception in 1992. The balance may have shifted from the northern monopoly of yesteryear but there is little love lost between the capital sides.
Each London derby, even if it isn't against a club's traditional rivals, invariably carries an extra edge. Here are the sides that have emphatically gotten the better of their capital neighbours in these grudge matches.
Arsenal's first meeting with Wimbledon was abandoned due to floodlight failings, one of three Premier League matches throughout the 1997/98 season that suffered the same fate. It later emerged that a Malaysian betting syndicate was behind the outages. Wimbledon should never have turned the lights back on.
By the time the Dons travelled to Highbury in April, Arsenal were in the midst of a ten-game winning streak, overhauling a 13-point deficit to sneak ahead of Manchester United at the Premier League summit.
