Chelsea had to pit their wits against Burnley, a side who haven't been much consistent in the defensive aspects of their game as they have conceded 62 goals this season in the league. However, luckily for Arsenal and Manchester United, they were able to snatch a draw which could prove to be much worse for Chelsea than it looks. Maurizio Sarri's men had a chance to go third, but they bottled it and are now 3 points behind Mauricio Pochettino's side.

So, the reason why this game is important for the Gunners is that if they get a win, they will be able to go 2 points clear of Chelsea and only 1 behind Tottenham, whereas a defeat could take them back to 6th, in case Man United somehow manage a win against Manchester City.

The return of Sokratis will let Emery get off his toes as Shkodran Mustafi has caused some serious problems for Arsenal this season. Emery is likely to shift back to a 3-4-1-2 formation and he will try his best not to include Mustafi from now on till the end of the season.
