Can Chelsea steal three points from Arsenal on Saturday?

It’s pretty safe to say that Chelsea at Arsenal represents the Premier League’s biggest match of the weekend. The absence of Jose Mourinho in charge of Chelsea might lessen the managerial drama, but the players on the pitch still should present a compelling storyline.

Each club enters the match heading in different directions. The Gunners have won three Premier League matches in a row, and will look to continue their run against the Blues at home.

In contrast, Chelsea will be anxious to wash the disappointing taste of the Liverpool out of their mouths. Antonio Conte prides himself on preparing his teams to play tough away from home. He’ll relish the challenge of walking into The Emirates and emerging victorious.

Arsene Wenger, on the other hand, will want to see his side play their best against a challenging opponent. The match versus Chelsea will give the Gunners a real opportunity to announce that they’re ready to mount a challenge on the Premier League title.

Read on to discover the five most interesting talking points of the Arsenal-Chelsea encounter.
