Chelsea host Arsenal at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday evening with both sides keen on taking a significant step towards the Champions League next term. The Blues are currently sitting third in the table and following a significant stutter over the past few weeks, appear to be finally be back on track.
Thomas Tuchel’s men followed up their 6-0 thumping of Southampton by reaching the FA Cup Final with a win over Crystal Palace at Wembley Stadium and will hope to continue that positive momentum as they turn their attentions back to Premier League action. Their opponents Arsenal are in a vulnerable position having lost their last three league games.
The recent defeat against Southampton saw the Gunners miss out on the chance to close the gap to Tottenham Hotspur - Antonio Conte’s men being downed by Brighton. That all means that Mikel Arteta’s men remain sixth in the current standings and just three points behind their north London rivals in the race for a top four berth.
