The Premier League is back in action with another round of matches this week as Chelsea lock horns with Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side in a crucial encounter at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday.
Arsenal vs Chelsea Preview
Chelsea are currently in 12th place in the Premier League standings and have struggled to meet expectations this season. The away side slumped to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Brentford over the weekend and will need to work hard to bounce back in this fixture.
Arsenal, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment but have not been at their best in recent weeks. The Gunners slumped to a damaging 4-1 defeat at the hands of title rivals Manchester City in their previous game and have a point to prove this week.
