Arsenal need to dust themselves down and get their Premier League title bid back on track when crisis club Chelsea visit for a London derby.
The Gunners were thrashed 4-1 by title rivals Manchester City at the Etihad last week in a huge blow to their chances of earning a first English crown in 19 years, extending their winless run to four games.
Chelsea are in even worse form, though; Frank Lampard has lost each of his five games as interim manager and the Blues look set for a bottom-half finish despite their big-spending season.
A goal from Gabriel decided their first meeting of the season at Stamford Bridge in November as Arsenal ran out 1-0 winners.
Kick-off is at 8.00pm BST. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League (opens in new tab) wherever you are.

VPN guide
If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won’t be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t’internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that’s a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
