Good afternoon from Stamford Bridge
Welcome to live SunSport coverage of the London derby between Chelsea and Arsenal in the Premier League.
Always eagerly anticipated, this rivalry has been dominated by the Gunners in recent seasons.
But the clubs meet today locked together on 18 points, and vying for the win that will take them back into the top four.
For Mikel Arteta’s team, however, there is more at stake.
Considered Manchester City’s main title challenger at the season’s start, another loss at the in-form Blues this afternoon will see them 10 points off pacesetters Liverpool at the top.
Would that be too early to write them off in their quest to be champions? It’s debatable.
