Arsenal are back in Premier League action this weekend as they make the short trip to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea in a huge London Derby. The Gunners currently remain top of the table with ten wins from their opening 12 games, edging ever closer to the mid-season break for the World Cup.
They have just two matches left to get through to remain in first until late December, a marker point that could show their true ability to challenge for the title. The Blues will also be stern competition, with manager Mikel Arteta praising their recent run of form after a tough start.
"They’ve been really consistent," The Spaniard told reporters after Thursday's win over FC Zurich in the Europa League. "The results that they’ve had recently since Graham took over you can see what he’s trying to do and we will be ready and will start to prepare for the game from tonight."
