After another weekend off Chelsea are set to return to Premier League action on Tuesday with a trip to the Emirates Stadium to face Arsenal. The Blues will hope to take advantage of Arsenal's stumbling form to salvage their own having suffered five defeats in a row since the appointment of Frank Lampard.
Chelsea have little to play for other than personal pride and faint hope of a place in the top half of the table. Lampard's side have no easy task before the end of the season to ensure they can come away with three points. The Gunners are the first of the Premier League's current top four, who Chelsea still need to face, with only Newcastle to come at home.
Lampard said following defeat to Brentford: "That's just a reality, we've got a really tough run-in. Three of those top four games are away from home. I don't think it's worth going one step further than the next one at the minute which is Arsenal. So the team have to be motivated, there's a lot on it.
