Chelsea can take a significant step towards Champions League qualification with victory over Arsenal at the Emirates on Saturday evening.
Three points would see the Blues climb above Tottenham into third and create a nine-point gap to the Gunners.
However, Maurizio Sarri’s men have claimed just one win from their previous three Premier League games and their 2-1 victory over Newcastle last weekend was far from convincing.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek is the only player missing through injury as the Blues name an unchanged line-up from the Newcastle win.
That means Eden Hazard continues up front in a false nine role and former Arsenal man Olivier Giroud starts on the bench.
Chelsea XI: Arrizabalaga, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Luiz, Alonso, Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic, Pedro, Hazard, Willian.
Subs: Barkley, Caballero, Giroud, Hudson-Odoi, Christensen, Emerson Palmieri, Ampadu.
