Two Englishmen from different generations have been carrying their respective teams to victory recently, and both might have a significant impact on the outcome of this fixture.

Watch out for Jack Wilshere of Arsenal and Frank Lampard of Chelsea, as the two box-to-box talismans will go head-to-head for what is probably the last time.

Chelsea and Arsenal will meet for the second time this season at Stamford Bridge, where the Gunners dismantled their crosstown rivals in a historic victory last season. Arsenal head to Chelsea on Sunday with the long running saga over Theo Walcott’s contract finally put to bed. While some may doubt whether the England international is worth his reportedly mammoth £100,000 a week wage packet, in the short term all at the club will be glad that there is one less distraction off the pitch.

Chelsea and Arsenal contest their Premier League derby this weekend with both teams having plenty to prove. Rafael Benitez would have liked to go into the crunch match on the back of a resounding win. Instead, his charges treated him to a lacklustre draw against Southampton on Wednesday, a result that only served to stoke the fury of the capacity crowd watching at Stamford Bridge.

Both Premier League matches are likely to go ahead this afternoon, despite the severe weather conditions across London.
Snow has been falling steadily throughout the morning, with more expected this afternoon, but both Chelsea and Tottenham have stated that their matches should be on at the scheduled times.

On the back of a poor performance in defeat to Manchester City, there was much to be encouraged by in a 1-0 victory over Swansea on Wednesday that saw them progress in the FA Cup. But Arsenal’s prime objective this season remains qualification for the Champions League this season, which makes the clash with Chelsea, a direct rival for the top four, a potentially vital one. Arsenal currently sit eight points behind Chelsea in the Premier League with a game in hand.
