Gabriel Martinelli of Arsenal celebrates scoring his team's first goal during the Premier League match between Chelsea FC and Arsenal FC at Stamford Bridge
Arsenal have gone undefeated against Chelsea for almost four years
Chelsea travel to the Emirates Stadium hoping to end a winless run against Arsenal that stretches back almost four years.
Thomas Tuchel was at the Blues helm the last time they managed to clinch victory over the Gunners in August 2021. Enzo Maresca managed to earn a 1-1 draw at home to Mikel Arteta's side in November but will hope to go one better after Arsenal fell 15 points off the Premier League summit following a 1-1 draw at Manchester United.
Despite being acres apart for most of this term, Chelsea would remarkably pull within three points of second-place Arsenal with a win on Sunday. The Gunners succumbed 1-0 to West Ham in their most recent domestic outing at home, though league leaders Liverpool remain the only Premier League team to have taken more points in front of their own fans this term.
Arteta has won seven and lost just two of his 12 encounters with Chelsea to date but has a fresh burden on his shoulders this weekend. And Mirror Sport provides all the need-to-know viewing information you'll need to catch the action from the capital.
When is Arsenal vs Chelsea?
Two London derbies will kick off at 1.30pm on Sunday, with Arsenal and Chelsea among those in the early action. The other fixture will see Fulham host Tottenham in a capital clash that won't quite grab the same attention.
Some fans will spot the timing of those matches is slightly earlier than the usual slot first thing on a Sunday. That's down to Liverpool's Carabao Cup final against Newcastle, which has led to the Premier League tweaking its schedule considerably for the day.
Arsenal may benefit from some additional rest after facing PSV in the Champions League on Wednesday. Chelsea hosted Copenhagen in the Conference League on Thursday and will have had less than 72 hours respire before travelling to the Emirates.

Team news
Arsenal's attacking crisis endured at Old Trafford last Sunday when crocked attackers Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz were sorely missed. Gabriel Martinelli did recover from injury to offer support off the bench, not that it was sufficient to earn the three points.
Cole Palmer is under pressure to pull out a big performance after failing to record a goal or assist in any of his last seven Premier League outings. The Blues edged Leicester 1-0 last weekend to make it back-to-back league wins, though Maresca may consider changes after Chelsea have started to show signs of stagnation.
