The Gunners, who recorded an emphatic 4-1 win over Tottenham last weekend, could be just two points clear at the top of the standings by kick-off, as Manchester City travel to Leeds 24 hours earlier.
Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior calls on his team to find Arsenal's weakness
Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior is well aware of Arsenal's impeccable form, especially at the Emirates, but is confident his team can find a way.
"They are a very good team, and that is why they are in the situation they are in at the moment.
"It is my job and the players' job to try to find that weakness and try to enjoy what is going to be a really, really big game on Sunday," Rosenior said in his pre-match press conference.
Chelsea are in desperate need of a positive result following consecutive draws against Leeds United and Burnley.
However, going away to the Premier League leaders is a challenge Rosenior insists the squad are up for, as they look to keep their place in the Champions League.
"Yes, this club should be in the Champions League," said Rosenior. "This club is a Champions League club. We just have to take it game by game.
Rosenior will come up against Mikel Arteta for the third time in his short tenure so far as Chelsea boss, and will be desperate for his first win.
