Everything you need to know about the Premier League fixture
Arsenal returned to the top of the Premier League following their 2-0 win over Wolves on Saturday, and will take on a Chelsea side trying to break into the European places this season.
The Gunners sit top of the table, albeit only on goal difference to Liverpool, while favourites and defending champions Manchester City have a game in hand, and they will want to build on that narrow lead against Chelsea on Tuesday.
Against Wolves in the late kick off on Saturday, Arsenal dominated the game without ever taking full control, and the goals came at a good time, while Chelsea will be ruing another missed opportunity this season, when they missed key chances and were unable to reach the FA Cup final.
It was Chelsea’s second Wembley defeat this season, after losing in the Carabao Cup final to Liverpool, and ensures Mauricio Pochettino will finish his first season in charge at Stamford Bridge without silverware.

Chelsea were dealt a blow in the build up to the game, with the news that Cole Palmer might not be available against Mikel Arteta’s side.
Christopher Nkunku is nearing a comeback, but the game against Arsenal might come too soon, with Robert Sanchez and Levi Colwill also close to full fitness. However, Reece James, Lesley Ugochukwu, Wesley Fofana and Romeo Lavia are on the long-term injury list.
