Atmosphere building

Which scarf is better?

You've got the golden tassels, a border colour synonymous with Chelsea over the last two decades.

Or you have the classic look, the blue and white striped scarf, which is what so many people go for.

I have to say, I'm going for the snazzier golden one. Just more my vibe, even though I don't support the club, I love a good footie scarf.

The atmosphere is starting to build outside the Bridge anyway, and soon enough, the place will be bouncing.

I can't wait.

Arteta: 'It's a big derby'

Mikel Arteta, Arsenal manager, speaking on Friday:

It's a big game, it is a big London derby. They are in really good form. We know the challenge and the opportunity we have on Sunday, so we are fully ready.We are all there. They [Chelsea are there because they fully deserve everything they have done in last few years.For us it is [the biggest game of the season so far] because it is the next game. We live in the present and give the best possible preparation to win the game.

Can Arsenal go seven clear?

Whisper it quietly, but it finally feels as though this is Arsenal's year.

The Gunners fans that I know will be annoyed that I have said that because none of them want to jinx anything - they are far too scarred from all of the recent near-misses.

But on the evidence of this season, it's hard to see anybody stopping Mikel Arteta's side from going all the way.

IN this past week, they battered their biggest rivals, Tottenham, and then eased past Bayern Munich, who have arguably been the best side in Europe this term.

Win here today, and they go seven points clear at the top of the table, and nine clear of Chelsea. That almost feels like an unassailable lead.

But lose, and we have a title race on our hands.

The fearless boy from Brazil

Estevao is the definition of a baller.

I was having a discussion with my friends the other night over whether there were any joga bonito players left in the world. You know, the prime Neymar Jr's and Ronaldinho's of this world.

Well, I think Estevao can fit into that category.

Obviously, I don't mean he is as good as those two legends, but he has a similar aura about him and plays the game beautifully with no fear.

I think the changed Arsenal backline could be in for a difficult evening with the 18-year-old running at them.

I'm looking forward to seeing Estevao in full flow again.

'Big show of faith in Estevao'

A big, big show of faith in Estevao Willian, the 18-year-old Brazilian who starts against Arsenal. Cole Palmer being on the bench is a huge psychological boost for the Blues, too. Imagine the roar if and when he’s introduced here.

Arsenal Team News - Mosquera STARTS

This just shows how good Arsenal's squad is.

Both William Saliba and Gabriel are out but they have the likes of Piero Hincapie and Cristhian Mosquera filling in.

Eberechi Eze, of course, keeps his place after his hat-trick last week, but Gabriel Martinelli does come in for Leandro Trossard.

Chelsea Team News - Caicedo RETURNS

Guess who's back, back again.

That's right, Moises Caicedo is back in a Premier League starting line-up and is ready to go up against his supposed midfield rival Declan Rice.

A very strong forward line, I have to say.

Also, there is a return to the bench for Cole Palmer after a long period on the sidelines.

Battle of London

By Harry Bamforth

Now it's time for the big one.

Don't get me wrong, it's been an entertaining and enjoyable weekend of Premier League football, but this is the game we have all been waiting for.

It's Blue vs Red. West vs North. Chelsea vs Arsenal.

These two have thrown up some incredible matches in years gone by. That Kanu moment. Hazard's solo goal. The famous 6-0. And many, many more.

This season, they are the best two teams in the Premier League, and I'm hoping they will show it on the pitch.

I'm ready, but are yoy? Let's get cracking.
