Fantastic recent record against Chelsea, but "that doesn't change the preparation" says Gunners' boss Arteta

Arsenal face the latest test of their Premier League title credentials as they host rivals Chelsea while looking to extend their advantage over Manchester City back to five points.

Mikel Arteta’s side are looking to build on the momentum of a resounding 4-1 win at Tottenham last weekend and respond to title challengers City’s 1-0 win at Leeds yesterday. Chelsea, meanwhile, are locked in a battle for the top-five after dropping more points in frustrating fashion in a 1-1 draw at home to struggling Burnley last week.

Liam Rosenior’s side lost a Carabao Cup semi-final to Arsenal last month and will also be determined to offer more than they did last time out at the Gunners, who enjoy an impressive recent record against their London rivals. Arsenal are unbeaten in eight games against Chelsea while winning their last three against the Blues in the Premier League.
