Arsenal vs Chelsea live score, result, updates, stats, lineups as Cole Palmer misses out for Pochettino's men
Arsenal returned to winning ways in the Premier League at Wolves over the weekend and Mikel Arteta's men will look to apply further pressure in the title race when they host Chelsea.
The Gunners were stunned by a 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa in their previous home game, a result that handed the initiative to Manchester City.
However, the champions are not in action until they travel to Brighton on Thursday. Liverpool are level on points with Arsenal and face Everton in the Merseyside derby on Wednesday.
Despite an uneven season that took another wrong turn as they lost 1-0 to City in the FA Cup semifinals on Saturday, Chelsea remain in the hunt for European qualification and are unbeaten in their past eight Premier League games (W4, D4).
The Sporting News is following Arsenal vs. Chelsea live, providing score updates, commentary and highlights as they happen.
