Chelsea vs Arsenal preview

Arsenal secured safe passage to the Champions League quarter finals with a 2-2 draw against PSV at the Emirates in midweek and will be hoping to use some of the confidence gained over the two legs to spearhead an almighty comeback in the Premier League.

With no wins in their last three Premier League games The Gunners find themselves 15 points behind leaders Liverpool with just 10 games to go. With Liverpool's Carabao Cup commitments this weekend meaning they have already played 29 league games, Arsenal could move to within 12 points with a victory over Chelsea, cranking the pressure up just a bit on the Reds.

Chelsea however, will be eyeing up closing the gap on their London rivals. A win at the Emirates would mean they move to within three points of the Gunners, staking claim for a top four finish as well as all but ending Arsenal's title hopes.

The Blues are winless in their last two trips to the Emirates, suffering a 5-0 hammering there last season, with ex-player Kai Havertz bagging a brace.
