Is Arsenal v Chelsea on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch Premier League clash

Arsenal host rivals Chelsea as the Premier League leaders look to reclaim their five-point advantage at the top following Manchester City’s 1-0 win at Leeds yesterday.

Mikel Arteta’s side enjoyed a thumping 4-1 win at north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur last week and celebrated with a free midweek as the pressure of the title race intensifies.

Now, a second London derby in a row awaits as Liam Rosenior’s side return to the Emirates looking to offer more than they did in the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final last month.

Chelsea held Arsenal to a battling 1-1 draw at home earlier this season and the Blues are in need of the points, too, as they compete with Liverpool and Manchester United in the top-five race.
