The tale so far

Chelsea’s resurgence has lifted them to second after a strong domestic run and a dominant 3-0 win over Barcelona in the Champions League.

Their home form has been less convincing, with defeats to Brighton and Sunderland already on the books, but they remain one of the division’s most dangerous attacking sides.

They have scored 23 league goals, including 11 in their last five matches.

Arsenal sit six points clear at the top after winning nine of their opening 12.

Their defensive record is the best in the league, with only six conceded, and their home form has been especially sharp.

Arsenal brushed aside Spurs last week with an Eberechi Eze hat-trick and head into this one after a midweek Champions League 3-1 win against Bayern Munich.

Head-to-head recap

Arsenal have enjoyed their visits to Stamford Bridge in recent years, going unbeaten in their last six trips and winning three.

The recent meetings have been lively, with both sides scoring in three of the last five. The most recent clash saw Arsenal win 1-0 in March.
