It's been a bad fortnight for Arsenal. In the space of three games they have gone from favourites to qualify for next season's Champions League to having their top four ambitions appear nothing more than a pipe dream.
To make matters worse they have lost both Thomas Partey and Kieran Tierney most likely until the end of the campaign due to respective thigh and knee injuries. Right now they could do with a nice and easy game just to help build up confidence again. The Premier League fixture gods have had other ideas though.
The Gunners travel to Chelsea on Wednesday to kick off a run of fixtures that sees them play four of the top seven in the space of five matches. After being knocked out of the Champions League by Real Madrid at the quarter-final stage, Thomas Tuchel's side have the opportunity to focus all their attentions on this London derby, with their FA Cup final against Liverpool not coming up for another month.
