Arsene Wenger is looking to improve on a record of just one win in 20 games against the other top four contenders in the Premier League when his side take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
The Gunners were battered 6-0 in the corresponding fixture last year, and won't be helped by the absence of Aaron Ramsey and Mikel Arteta through injury. Jack Wilshere and Mathieu Flamini are fit to play.
Danny Welbeck will be looking to continue the fine form he showed while netting a hat trick in the 4-1 win over Galatasaray in the Champions League.
Jose Mourinho is undefeated against Wenger in 11 encounters. He is expected to select Diego Costa despite earlier misgivings about his ongoing hamstring strain.
Ramires will miss out with a groin strain, while Didier Drogba is sidelined with an ankle injury.
Chelsea vs Arsenal is live on Sky Sports 1 from 2.05pm on Sunday
