Arsenal's biggest game of the season was not the one against Tottenham Hotspur. It was not against Manchester City, or Liverpool. This is a close second, but it was not even against Bayern Munich.
The biggest game of the season so far will be against Chelsea, who are third in the Premier League table, just two points behind Manchester City, having played a game less than the Cityzens.
This is going to be a huge game. Chelsea are just coming off of a huge 3-0 win over Barcelona in the Champions League. Arsenal, on the other hand, are similarly coming off of a 3-1 win against Bayern Munich - who were playing like the best team in the world in every game until they came to the Emirates Stadium.
Now, the two teams will go against each other, and the winner of the game will top the Premier League table fair and square. It will be interesting to see what happens because even though Arsenal are top - and will remain top with a win or a draw - it is more even than people think.
Enzo Maresca knows what he is up against vs Arsenal
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca, who is managing pretty well at the club this season, gave an assessment on Arsenal that is honestly spot on.
It makes the game even more exciting and interesting than before, and it will be brilliant to see the two teams go at it, and see how Chelsea will play against Arsenal, knowing where their opponent's strengths lie.
He said: "For sure, Arsenal defend fantastically. Any teams against them, they struggle to score goals, not only to score goals, but even to create chances. So it's a team that they defend very well. Then they have weapons when they attack.
“So I think it's, as you said, in this moment they are top in the Champions League, they are top in the Premier League. And we're going to try our best to win the game.
"We try to defend in the best way we can. I think Arsenal is not just against one team or two teams. Arsenal, they score goals in set-pieces against any team. The last game against Bayern Munich, they scored the first one from a corner.
"They score goals against any team. They have a system in place that works very well, and we're going to try to do our best to defend in the best way."
That is spot on. Very rarely do managers go that deep into the tactical side of things for their opponent.
It is also very interesting to see the level of respect he has for the team against him. Many managers would say they want to focus on their game, but Maresca actually going into detail on Arsenal's strengths is hugely respectable.
It is going to be an amazing game on Sunday, and I bet fans of both teams are excited.
