Chelsea are up against Arsenal in a crucial Premier League match on Saturday (October 21).

The Blues, who are nine points behind the Gunners, welcome their London rivals at their own den at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues have shown good signs of revival in the last few games and will be looking to beef up their momentum as they take on the unbeaten team in the Premier League.

Chelsea vs Arsenal Preview

For years, the Gunners have been treated like punchbags in Chelsea's backyard but
ever since Mikel Arteta took over as the manager, there has been a major transition
in the overall performance of the team.

It very much seems that there has truly been a power shift towards Arsenal over the
years. The recent meetings between the two clubs have been one-sided fixtures,
with Mikel Arteta's boys munching on wins, more often than not.

The fact that they finished as the runners-up in their previous Premier League
venture goes to show that they have improved as a team. However, they were
susceptible to pressure and ended up throwing a golden opportunity away from
ending their title drought.

Arsenal recent record vs Chelsea

On the contrary, Chelsea lost five of their last six games against Arsenal, prevailing
over the Gunners just once. On top of that, Arsenal emerged as the victorious side in
each of their last three games at Stamford Bridge, with Mikel Arteta and co. beating
the Blues by 0-1, 2-4 and 0-1.

Mauricio Pochettino who took charge as the manager of Chelsea this season
struggled to produce a spark in the eight games so far, winning three, losing as
many and playing out for a draw twice in the ongoing campaign.

Nevertheless, Pochettino is slowly starting to make some things work out for the
club. He got into the groove in the last two games, helping the team churn out back-
to-back wins, beating Fulham and Burnley respectively.

They will face an uphill battle against the unbeaten Arsenal at home and will be
looking to register a hat-trick of wins for the first time in the ongoing Premier League.
However, it won't be that easy for sure as Arsenal are brimming with confidence after
their formidable 1-0 win over Manchester City at the Emirates.

Mikel Arteta seems to have picked up lessons from his past mistakes and is really
making sure that his team gives absolutely everything in a bid to win the Premier
League this time around.
