Arsenal vs Chelsea: Preview, predictions and lineups

Arsenal host a midweek London derby on Tuesday night when they welcome mid-table Chelsea to the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners secured an imperative three points at Wolves on Saturday which returned them to the top of the Premier League table. Victory on Tuesday would see them open up a four-point gap over Manchester City, who'll have two games in hand before they travel to Brighton on Thursday.

Arsenal were far from spectacular last time out but, after a tough eight days which included their exit from Europe, a win at Molineux was all that mattered to keep them firmly in the title race.

Chelsea's tumultuous 2023/24 campaign continued on Saturday as they were beaten by Man City in the FA Cup semi-finals. The Blues produced a fine performance against the beleaguered holders but a woeful showing in the final third undermined their good work.

Mauricio Pochettino's side are destined for a mid-table Premier League finish but both he and the club would take great satisfaction from disrupting Arsenal's title charge.

Here's preview of Tuesday's game in north London.
