Arsenal's recent success in the Premier League could provide the blueprint for Chelsea's bid to rebuild after a disappointing campaign, interim manager Frank Lampard said ahead of the sides' meeting on Tuesday.
Chelsea's 2-0 defeat by Brentford last week left them 12th in the standings, stumbling towards possibly their worst campaign since the 1993-94 season - when they finished 14th under Glenn Hoddle - despite their new U.S. owners' huge outlay.
On Tuesday, Chelsea face an Arsenal side that finished outside the top four for six straight seasons between 2016-2022, but currently find themselves locked in an intense title race after significant improvement under manager Mikel Arteta.
