Tuesday sees Arsenal host Chelsea, as the Gunners seek to reclaim the top spot in the English Premier League.
After a 4-1 loss to Manchester City the previous week, a victory tonight would restore Arsenal to the top spot.
Anything less than a win for Manchester City against West Ham tomorrow will advantage the Gunners towards the EPL title this season. And a defeat for Chelsea will be disastrous for Frank Lampard, to keep the Blues stay in the top league.
“The club needs to put last week’s loss behind them and focus on the five games left to make up for it, “Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta told the media.
“We have achieved what was difficult to achieve and we can still achieve the Premier League because there are five games to go and there are a lot of things that are still going to happen.”
“What we have to do is forget about what happened last week, learn from it and move on to the next game at home,” Arteta added.

“It’s a London derby and they have something to prove, and we have something to prove, the atmosphere is going to be incredible to play in that stadium,”
“Chelsea is a dangerous side, when you look at the individuals that they can put on that field, for sure they have huge threats, so we need to be aware of that,” Arteta said.
If Arsenal picks up 15 points from their last five matches and Manchester City drops any point in the remaining fixtures, the Gunners will become EPL champions.
Arsenal will face Newcastle United on Sunday in their quest to win the Premier League title, they last won in 2003/04.
