Arsenal travel to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea in the Premier League.
The Gunners’ focus is on the Champions League clash against Bayern Munich on Wednesday night, and that will be a tough game.
However, the game against Chelsea on Sunday could be even more important as a win against Enzo Maresca’s side would make the leaders even more likely to lift the Premier League title.
Arsenal will go into the game as the favourites, but Liam Delap doesn’t see it that way.
Liam Delap warns Arsenal that Chelsea will come out firing
Arsenal are six points clear at the top of the Premier League table.
Liverpool and Manchester City were viewed as the Gunners’ biggest rivals this season, but it’s Chelsea who are currently second.
That makes the London Derby on Sunday a massive game for both sides, and the Blues are full of confidence after thrashing Barcelona 3-0 in the Champions League.
One of Chelsea’s scorers, Delap, is already dreaming of reducing the gap to Arsenal to just three points on Sunday, and he has promised that his side will come out firing.
He said, as per HaytersTV: “Yeah, massive, I think we can get within three points.
“You know, they’re another really strong team, it’s going to be another really difficult game, but we’ll come out firing again.”
What’s your prediction for Arsenal’s London derby vs Chelsea?
Arsenal’s recent record against Chelsea is simply incredible
Arsenal and Chelsea have had many great battles over the years.
In 211 meetings across all competitions since the very first one in 1907, the Gunners have won 85, drawn 60 and lost 66 games against the Blues.
Even recently, Mikel Arteta’s side have been magnificent against Chelsea. They are unbeaten in their last seven and have lost just once in their previous 12 meetings.

Just like against Tottenham, Arsenal will go for the win against Chelsea, and it will be a much more difficult game compared to the North London Derby.
Maresca’s men are in good form, but if the Gunners play at their best level, they should come away from Stamford Bridge with all three points.
