\"Premier<\/p>\n

One of the biggest London derbies of the season takes place on Saturday night, as Chelsea visit the Emirates Stadium to take on Arsenal. Chelsea have the edge in the table, leading Arsenal by a decent six points, but a loss on Saturday could see that lead all but disappear. They will need a win if they intend to stay in contention and mount a late push for the title.<\/p>\n

Arsenal will be looking for a victory to secure their route to the Champion\u2019s League via domestic competition. However, events off the pitch threaten to overshadow the weekend\u2019s action, with the loss of their head of recruitment, Sven Mislintat. The timing couldn\u2019t be worse, with Petr Cech retiring at the end of the season, uncertainty over Danny Welbeck continuing with the club and whatever is going on with Mesut Ozil. Chelsea, meanwhile are attempting to move forward with their signing of Gonzalo Higuain from Inter Milan. They have also apparently signed Argentine midfielder Leandro Paredes, but with two strikers, Morata and Giroud looking elsewhere, Maurizio Sarri still has work to do before the transfer window closes.<\/p>\n

Neither team will want to lose, but maybe Chelsea could live with a draw if Manchester United\u2019s extraordinary resurgence can be halted. In that event, the gap between fourth and sixth would close a bit, but Chelsea would remain ahead. A loss for Arsenal would put paid to both their title and Champions League ambitions. Expect a tight, nervy game, one that we see ending in a 1-1 draw.<\/p>\n
