The Premier League features a massive London derby this weekend as Chelsea lock horns with Mikel Arteta's impressive Arsenal side in an important clash at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Chelsea vs Arsenal Preview
Arsenal are currently at the top of the Premier League standings and have exceeded expectations so far this season. The Gunners thrashed Nottingham Forest by a 5-0 margin in their previous league game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
Chelsea, on the other hand, are in sixth place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent this season. The Blues slumped to a shock 4-1 defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.

Chelsea vs Arsenal Prediction
Arsenal have been in impressive form this season and are well-placed to secure a top-four finish. The Gunners will be intent on giving Manchester City a run for their money this season and could boost their title credentials this weekend.
