Chelsea vs Arsenal League Standings

Chelsea have had a bizzare season, recently sacking Enzo Maresca and appointing Strasbourg gaffer Liam Rosenior. The interim manager picked up an impressive draw away at City but lead them to a loss away at Fulham where Marc Cucurella saw red, Chelsea's 7th red of the season. The Blues currently sit 8th in the Premier League but find themselves only four points off the top four.

Arsenal lead the Premier League by six points after 21 games and have fans thinking it's their year. They failed to extend their lead to eight points after a disappointing draw at home to Liverpool where the performance was far below the standards they're used to. Both sides will be looking to win the first leg and give them a chance at the first silverwear of the season.

Key Players To Watch:

Enzo Fernandez (Chelsea) His 100M price tag is always a talking point, but Enzo's importance is priceless. He always shows in the big games for Chelsea, scoring that late equaliser against City a few games back.

Martin Odegard (Arsenal) He's finally returned from injury and has found his form from 2 seasons ago, making a massive impact in the last 2-3 games.
