Your support makes all the difference.Chelsea were brought back down to earth against Liverpool after a fast start to the season that saw them pick up maximum points in their opening three games. However, since then they have hit a speed-bump with a sloppy draw away to Swansea before being outclassed by Liverpool last weekend.
Arsenal have been looking equally unconvincing this season but have three wins from their last three games, they are in their familiar position of fourth in the Premier League table, with the same points tally as Saturday’s opponents.
It’s a big game for…
Antonio Conte. After two lacklustre displays, there were rumblings of discontent coming from Roman Abramovich’s office with talk of an ‘emergency meeting’ already mentioned. Conte needs a win to get the owner off his back.
Best stat…
Antonio Conte will be the 14th Chelsea manager Arsene Wenger has come up against since he joined Arsenal 20 years ago.
Remember when...
Chelsea held Arsenal to a 0-0 draw at the Emirates to all but confirm the title in 2015 when Jose Mourinho was manager. Can the Blues get their season back on track this time around?
Player to watch…
Diego Costa. The Spanish international is on fire at the moment with five goals in five games for Chelsea this season.
He also managed two for Spain and has a tendency for getting Arsenal centre backs sent off in this fixture.
