Why Is It A Big Deal?

A clash between these two teams has always been a big deal for fans. This time, it is significant because Chelsea is leading the league table at the moment, while Arsenal is at the third spot. So, it is basically a competition between the best in the tournament so far. Arsene Wenger is facing a four-game touchline ban. The 67-year-old Frenchman will be in the stands for the match. The match is more important for Arsenal, as it will be a cakewalk for Chelsea to win the title, if it defeats Arsenal this time.

The Teams

The Chelsea vs. Arsenal match will see a full team for Chelsea, even though Charly Musonda won’t be available due to his knee problems. But, that should not bother Antonio Conte much. He should have enough options to choose from.

For Arsenal, Aaron Ramsey may not be fit to play today. He suffered a calf injury earlier against Watford. Granit Xhaka will still be suspended. Arsenal won’t have Mohamed Elneny either, as he is still at the African Cup of Nations.

What Are They Saying?

Antonio Conte refused to talk about the chances of beating Arsenal and stay 12 points ahead of their rivals. But, at the same time, he believes Chelsea is great enough as a team to fight for the title. He also believes that it will be a great chance for the team to prove that it is a totally different team from what it was when it lost the away game.

It is a good chance for us. We play at home, which is very important, but it will be a really tough game.
