"A week after giving an outstanding response to their critics by demolishing Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby (4-1), Arsenal are back at the Emirates for another London derby and another huge game in their quest for a long-overdue title."
"Mikel Arteta and his players know that to win the title, they will have to play every game as they did against Spurs, showing the same intensity, structure and movement. They could have easily won 6-0 last Sunday. However, Chelsea will be a much tougher opponent and it will be on Arsenal, in front of a home crowd, to deliver a similar performance."
"Chelsea, who dropped two points at home to second-from-bottom Burnley (1-1) last weekend in a game they could have easily lost and squandered a two-goal lead at home against Leeds United, do not have momentum coming into this game."
Arsenal hosts Chelsea in a Premier League London derby on Sunday with significant title race consequences. Arsenal demonstrated exceptional form by demolishing Tottenham 4-1 in the North London derby, displaying intensity, structure, and movement that could define their title challenge. This marks their fourth meeting with Chelsea this season, with Arsenal holding two wins and one draw from previous Carabao Cup semifinal encounters. Chelsea arrives without momentum after dropping points at home to Burnley and squandering a two-goal lead against Leeds United. Arsenal must replicate their Tottenham performance to maintain title contention, while Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior faces pressure to improve team consistency. Wesley Fofana's suspension adds defensive complications for Chelsea.
