Arsenal make the trip to Stamford Bridge to face London rivals Chelsea in a top-of-the-table clash on Sunday afternoon.
The Gunners managed a superb 3-1 win over Bayern Munich last time out to make it five wins from five in the Champions League. Jurrien Timber opened the scoring, heading in from a corner, only for Lennart Karl to pull the Bundesliga giants back in it before half-time. However, a fantastic performance saw Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli net off the bench to hand Mikel Arteta's side all three points.
Chelsea also secured victory in Europe this week with a dominant 3-0 triumph against Barcelona. Estêvão and Liam Delap added to a Jules Kounde own goal to help their side to an important win in continental football.
As Arsenal and Chelsea sit first and second in the Premier League table, there will be a lot riding on this clash. If the Gunners are victorious, they will go up to nine points clear at the summit while if the Blues come out on top, they will close the gap between themselves and their north London counterparts to three points. This will certainly be a dramatic game at the Bridge.

Chelsea team news
Enzo Maresca will be thrilled to have Cole Palmer back at his disposal as he makes his return from an injury that has kept him out since September. He is supposedly ready to start, but he will likely begin the game on the bench.
Dario Essugo could also make his comeback following his recovery from a thigh operation, but again he should start as a substitute.
Levi Colwill and Romeo Lavia will be absent as they battle respective fitness issues while former Arsenal target Mykhaylo Mudryk won't be available due to his provisional doping suspension.
Predicted Chelsea lineup vs Arsenal: Sanchez; James, Adarabioyo, Chalobah, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Estevao, Pedro, Neto; Delap
Arsenal team news
Arteta has a fresh injury concern after Leandro Trossard was forced off during his side's win over Bayern Munich. However, there is potential he could be fit for the trip to Stamford Bridge, but Gabriel Martinelli could take his spot in the starting XI.
He could have a decision to make over who starts in defence after Cristhian Mosquera took Piero Hincapié's place in the Champions League. The Spaniard was brought in to offer his Ecuadorian counterpart some respite, but he will likely drop back out for this one.
Viktor Gyökeres and Gabriel Jesus have both travelled with the squad and face a late fitness test to be included in the squad.
Predicted Arsenal lineup vs Chelsea: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Hincapie, Calafiori; Eze, Zubimendi, Rice; Saka, Merino, Martinelli
Chelsea vs Arsenal score prediction
With this being a London derby, form won't be a huge factor in this and it will come down to who performs best on the day.
Arsenal boast a good record against the Blues in recent seasons, but they now face a Chelsea side who have looked their best compared to the last few years so they will have to be ready for a tough test.
With Palmer returning, the Blues will be a dangerous force for the Gunners' defence to deal with, but they should have enough to overcome their hosts. It will be a tight game, but Arsenal should be the victors this afternoon.
