The two sides meet at the Emirates on Saturday evening.
Arsenal legend Freddie Ljungberg has told the Mirror that he is expecting his old side to beat Chelsea by a 3-1 scoreline this weekend.
The Gunners host Antonio Conte’s side at the Emirates on Saturday evening in arguably the game of the weekend.
They are keen to continue their recent winning form that has seen them pick up victories in their last three Premier League games and move up to fourth in the table.
It will be a tough ask against Antonio Conte’s team, though, with the Blues determined to bounce back from their 2-1 defeat to Liverpool last week.
Ljungberg however, is anticipating a very happy afternoon for Arsene Wenger’s men.
“It’s going to be a tight game,” he told the Mirror.
“I think we’ve had some good speed in our game, Xhaka has done well, he’s been playing so I’m looking forward to it. I think we’re going to win the game. I hope 3-1, to Arsenal.”
If Arsenal are to come away with a victory in this game they will have to find a way to stop Diego Costa. The Spaniard has returned to his best under Conte, with five goals in his first five games so far.
Arsenal will need to stop that scoring run and if they can, it will give them a huge chance of securing their first victory against their rivals since 2011.
