Tonight in the Premier League, Arsenal plays Chelsea in a midweek London derby. The Gunners can overtake Manchester City by four points in the Premier League standings, but Mauricio Pochettino's Blues will be determined to stop the hosts and deal a blow to the championship rivals.
Although Chelsea has won the Premier League five times in the twenty years since Arsenal's last championship, Mikel Arteta's team is expected to finish above the Blues for the second year running, and a victory tonight might add even more heartbreak to an already trying season. Even though Chelsea was superior to Manchester City in their FA Cup semi-final match, Pochettino's team lost because of squandered opportunities.
With Arsenal hoping to capitalise on their victory over Wolves on Saturday, the visitors may be without their best player, Cole Palmer, who leads the Premier League in scoring. Following back-to-back losses to Aston Villa and Bayern Munich, Arteta's team was looking at the possibility of another late-season slide. The Gunners need to win tomorrow in order to put pressure on champions Manchester City.
