Arsenal host Chelsea tonight in first of three January clashes between the London rivals
Evening all! The festive feast of Premier League football is nearing its conclusion, but no doubt you’ve left some space to tuck into this mouth-watering clash at the Emirates Stadium. Kick-off is at 19:45 GMT
Arsenal will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing draw at West Brom on New Year’s Eve when playing host to Antonio Conte’s side, who ended 2017 in style with a 5-0 win over Stoke.
And though their title defence looks set to fall short, victory over their London rivals tonight will see them become Man City’s closest challengers.
The Blues, who have won five and drawn one of their last six in all competitions, will move eight points clear of fifth spot with a win.
The Premier League meeting comes exactly a week before the sides meet at Stamford Bridge for the first leg of their League Cup semi-final.
