London rivals Arsenal and Chelsea will do battle in a much anticipated English Premier League match at North London's Emirates Stadium.
With the international break looming the meeting between the two most successful London clubs carries great importance as regards the race for Champions League football.
Arsenal hold second spot at the moment with 55 points but a poor run of form has seen them win none of their last three matches and essentially seeing Liverpool open up a 15-point lead.
Chelsea on 49 are fourth and know that a win will be a body blow for Arsenal and open the battle for second spot.
The Gunners though, hold the better of the recent record between the two clubs, winning six of the last 9 matches between the two sides.
The Gunners though have suffered immensely from the loss of Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz, denting their firepower. Chelsea will smell blood and an opportunity to close in on their rivals.
" Chelsea should be competing in the title race. Their squad shows that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta told Arsenal.Com before the clash.
"They have quality in various areas."
His Chelsea counterpart Enzo Maresca is upbeat ahead of a match that could define his side's season as they prepare also for the last stages of the UEFA Conference League.
" Big games are there to be won. We respect Arsenal but we will do our best to make three points, he told Chelsea FC.Com.
The match kicks off at 16.30 Hrs local time.
Manchester United will look to continue their recent decent form with a trip to relegation-threatened Leicester. Fulham host Tottenham in the day's other clash.
