Arsenal boss Unai Emery will be hoping it\u2019s fourth time lucky against Chelsea this weekend.<\/p>\n
Emery\u2019s Gunners welcome their London rivals to the Emirates on Saturday evening in the showpiece game of the Premier League weekend.<\/p>\n

The Spaniard has faced Chelsea three times in his career so far, twice as Valencia boss in 2011 and a third time earlier this season.<\/p>\n
