Arsenal make the short trip across London on Sunday lunchtime to take on a Chelsea side that has only lost once in the past 11 matches. The Gunners are in equally good form, dropping just five points in the Premier League all season, making this a fascinating encounter that's almost impossible to call. The match kicks off at 12pm today, read on for a full break down of how to watch a Chelsea vs Arsenal live stream and get the Premier League game from anywhere.

Chelsea come into this game off the back of a midweek Champions League win against Dinamo Zagreb, but their last Premier League game didn't go quite so well. Looking to make it 10 unbeaten since he took over at Stamford Bridge, Graham Potter visited his old club Brighton and saw his new side get thoroughly dismantled by his former charges. He'll be looking for a more Dinamo performance here, with Chelsea unbeaten at home in the league since April. The Blues' conquerers that day? Arsenal.

Potter has made three changes to his side for today's game, with Thiago Silva, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Marc Cucurella in for Kalidou Koulibaly, the injured Ben Chilwell, and Denis Zakaria, who scored on his debut last time out.

Meanwhile, the Gunners continue to play leapfrog with Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table, but as long as Mikel Arteta's side match or beat City's result against Fulham they'll keep their place at the summit. Arsenal have won three of their last four meetings with Chelsea, including two at Stamford Bridge, but they'll have had less rest than the home side thanks to their involvement in the Europa League on Thursday night. How will that game against FC Zurich affect them on Sunday lunchtime?

Zinchenko is back for Arsenal in a team that features seven changes in total. Saliba, Partey, Xhaka, Saka, Ødegaard and Martinelli also return to the starting XI, while Tierney, Holding, Lokonga, Vieira, Elneny, Nketiah and Nelson drop out

Can Chelsea maintain their good home form? Or will Arsenal inflict a second defeat on Graham Potter's side in eight days? Don't miss the action on Sunday afternoon.
