One of the most-watched fixtures of the opening month — Xabi Alonso's first trip to the Emirates as Chelsea manager, and a full house from kick-off. Book a fixed-fare car and skip the Holloway Road crush either side of the game.
5 September 2026 · Premier League
Arsenal host Chelsea in what's already one of the most-anticipated early fixtures of the season — Xabi Alonso's first visit to the Emirates as Chelsea manager, and a first real form guide for both sides. Early-season or not, this is a full house and a busy Holloway Road either side of kick-off.
60,704 capacity on Hornsey Road — one of the hardest tickets of the opening weeks.
Xabi Alonso's first north London test as Chelsea boss adds extra edge to an already-loaded fixture.
A held pickup point beats the queue for Drayton Park and Arsenal stations after the final whistle.

Where & when
Emirates Stadium — Hornsey Road, Holloway, N7 7AJ.

FAQ
Yes — one of the most-watched storylines of the fixture, and part of why this early-season derby is drawing more attention than a typical September date.
Yes — high demand doesn't change the price. Whether it's the first big derby of August or the last day of May, the fare agreed at booking is what you pay.
Confirmed at booking, clear of the Drayton Park and Holloway Road crush that builds pre- and post-match on derby days.
Yes — MPV for up to 6, 8-seater minibus for larger groups, one fare rather than splitting across cars.
For groups especially, yes — a fixed-fare car door to door is often simpler and better value than train tickets plus taxis at both ends, and everyone travels together.
Yes — every Rushxo pickup includes 60 minutes of complimentary waiting time from your scheduled pickup slot, which comfortably covers a match that runs long, goes to added time, or a delayed start. Your fixed fare does not change because of it.
Book early — this is shaping up as one of the hardest tickets of the opening month.
