With 6 points separating these two London clubs, Chelsea and Arsenal prepare to slug it out yet again, this time at Stamford Bridge. Consistency in attack and defence have been vital so far. The Blues are top scorers this season in all competitions with 86 goals from 36 matches and have failed to score just once, at Birmingham.
With the Gunners' ''nemesis'' Didier Drogba back in the squad and apparently in good form after scoring in their last game against Hull City, the Anelka-Drogba partnership should be firing hotly on Sunday. John Mikel Obi is available and is likely to play a part in this encounter. Chelsea are still without Juliano Belletti and Michael Essien while Ashley Cole and Joe Cole, who started on the bench at Hull, could feature.
A win will keep Chelsea ahead of Manchester United on the league table, while a draw will put them on a points tie.

Arsène Wenger is hoping that Abou Diaby recovers from his calf injury in time to rejoin the Arsenal squad for Sunday's crucial trip to Chelsea. In this case, Denilson is likely to be benched for Diaby.
The midfielder has been sidelined since the 4-2 victory over Bolton on January 20 but is now nearing fitness. Arsenal are without Van Persie and Eduardo, but Nicklas Bendtner may be involved.
"We still have Carlos Vela out too. Apart from that [there are no more changes from last Sunday]. Theo is back and available. Diaby is the question mark we have. All the others are longer term injuries."

So basically, no major changes are expected from the side that lost to United at the Emirates last Sunday.
Arsenal have defeated Chelsea at the Bridge before, but Robin Van Persie made the difference then. This time around with Van Persie absent, a win is still possible, but a lot more will be required of Wenger's side. As always with these two, a lot will depend on tactical genius.

Match will be on HiTV.  .  .HiSoccer.

I resent the highlighted comments, you make it sound like they've had the upper hand all along.

Chelsea 4 - Arsenal 0

Emperoh:

This is the most likely result. . . . . but in footie, anything can happen!!!!
Ok Khanye, let pity them, its gonna be 2-0

No Emp,
It's either 4-0 or 3-1, I'm very sure about this

I will be a passive ARSE on sunday and will rooting for the ARSENAL to win.

Hope the defeat at the emirates does not trigger a capitulation of their season.

ARSE, stand up and be counted.

A win will keep Chelsea ahead of Manchester United on the league table, while a draw will put them on a points tie.

Have you won yours?

Chelsea 3 - 0 Arsenal!

Arsenal is always the bes, so the result will be Arsenal 2-0 chelsea. dont touch it

Trained soldiers (Chelsea) against Boys scout(Arsenal) on battle field, what do u expect? I expect hands to be chop off, bullet open da skull of boys scout, their (boys scout) blood spill to ground and at last vuture eating their carcass. It's gonna be 7 - 1 coz Sunderland is better than Arsenal now, if Man U can beat this school boys 3 - 1, why can' t Chelsea father of them all. 7 - 1 that's it.

it's going to be chelsea 3 Arsenal 0
i can bet it with anyone

may be arsenal will win in the reverse cas
es of all wat u guyz av put up here, u will all be in shitzz

Its a shame Arsenal will get spanked. Not that man utd need their help to top the table anyways but it would have been good if they could beat Chelsea so that man utd will be top of the EPl by Sunday night. No worries though, Man utd will just have to beat Chelsea themselves.

This game would be a turning point for arsenal.CHELSEA 1 ARSENAL 2. YES GUNNERS FOR LIFE.

Chelsea 1-arsenal 2, then chelsea wil go 5 games without a win

arsenal will do everything to win this game and with the help of god arsenal will win

Some have guns,but cannot shoot, some can shoot but dont have guns,some can shoot and do have guns, hope they shoot on sunday o!!!!chelsea 5 Arsenal 1

Chelsea 1 - Arsenal 2
Drogba red carded

I'm an Arsenal fan but I can't start blabbing right now. We need more than luck to win this game. The truth is that Chelsea are good to give us at least 3 - 0, but this is football, not Maths were everything always adds up.

Arsenal 1-6 Chelsea
Drogba to score a double hatrick and upstage Shrek on the scorer's chat
John Terry to score an own goal in 'Fergie' time.
John Terry later explains to his team mates, that he did it on compassionate grounds.
