Chelsea will be looking to end a three-game losing streak against Arsenal this weekend when the two sides meet in the Premier League on Saturday.
The Blues have won three games on the trot as their season starts to take shape, but their clash with Arsenal marks the beginning of a tricky run of fixtures. Mauricio Pochettino's side face Tottenham, Manchester City, Newcastle United, Brighton and Manchester United in five of their seven games after the visit of the Gunners, so they'll want to get off to a strong start this Saturday.
Meanwhile, Arsenal know a victory will guarantee them top spot before the second London derby of the weekend between Tottenham and Fulham, with Mikel Arteta looking to build on a breakthrough victory over Manchester City before the international break. The Gunners have won their last three trips to Stamford Bridge and are unbeaten there since 2018.

Chelsea vs Arsenal score prediction
Arsenal's victory over Man City before the international break helped them exorcise some demons, handing them the confidence boost they need at the beginning of the hectic winter period. A trip to Stamford Bridge will be a tough test, but one that the Gunners have enjoyed in recent seasons.
Chelsea's upturn in form certainly makes this a more interesting and hopefully less one-sided encounter, but injuries continue to make life difficult for Pochettino. The Argentine will be sweating on the fitness of a number of key players ahead of Arsenal's visit, with defensive injuries having been particularly brutal for the Blues boss.
The positive news for Chelsea is that Saka and Saliba remain doubts for the Gunners, but Arteta's side will arrive at Stamford Bridge as strong favourites for this one regardless. It may be a tighter affair than some would have predicted a few weeks ago, but Arsenal should have enough in the tank to end their rivals' winning streak.
Prediction: Chelsea 0-1 Arsenal
