Arsenal can go three points clear at the top of the Premier League tonight, and in doing so, tick off one of the harder matches of their title-race run-in. They’ll fancy their chances against a side that everyone has suddenly started referring to as Cole Palmer FC, but tonight won’t feature any Cole Palmer. Arsenal are the form horse, having won 11 of their last 13 Premier League matches, and have only lost one of their last nine encounters with Chelsea, though they lost their last home game, against Aston Villa. Meanwhile Chelsea are belatedly getting it together under Mauricio Pochettino: they’re unbeaten in eight league games, and were the better side in defeat to Manchester City in the cup semis last weekend. So all in all, for a match between first and ninth, between teams separated by 27 points, this is balanced rather nicely. Kick-off is at 8pm BST. Business-end drama ahoy! It’s on!
