Preview: Arsenal v Chelsea

As the season edges closer to its finishing line, we have the chance to go three points clear at the top of the Premier League following the visit of Chelsea on Tuesday night.

A win at Emirates Stadium would take us up to 77 points ahead of Liverpool’s Merseyside derby at Goodison Park on Wednesday and Manchester City’s trip to Brighton & Hove Albion on Thursday, and would be just what we need going into Sunday's north London derby against Tottenham Hotspur.

As for Chelsea, Mauricio Pochettino’s could still capture what seemed an unlikely return to European football as they are within reach of sixth-placed Newcastle United, whom they could move level on points with should they claim victory at our expense.
