Chelsea host Arsenal in the game of the weekend in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge.
It's a pivotal game for both sides with the Gunners looking to stay clear at the top of the table and the Blues hoping to cut the lead to just three points. The two come into the game in brilliant form and off the back of big wins in the Champions League.
Enzo Maresca's men trounced Barcelona 3-0 on Tuesday before Mikel Arteta masterminded a dominant 3-1 win over the other form side in Europe, Bayern Munich, at the Emirates the following night.
Chelsea have also won their last three league games while Arsenal have won all but one of their last 13 games in all competitions, meaning this is set up to be an absolute thriller.
Will Arsenal assert their dominance once again or can Chelsea blow the title race wide open? AllSportsPeople brings you the latest tips and predictions for this match.
Chelsea vs. Arsenal preview: Who will win?
Arsenal have been near-flawless this season with their only loss coming at Anfield back in August in what now looks like the biggest false indicator for how a season might go.
They have goals everywhere in their side even with some key absentees while they remain rock-solid at the back despite the injury to Gabriel.
Right now, it looks like no one can stop them and a win here would be the latest sign that a first title since 2004 is looming.

Chelsea vs. Arsenal Score Prediction
Arsenal's recent record at Chelsea is brilliant and we're backing it to continue this weekend with a narrow victory.
The Blues might have beaten Barcelona at Stamford Bridge in midweek but they have lost to both Sunderland and Brighton there in the league already this season.
A third will see them fall away from Arsenal and back into the chasing pack for a top four finish, which feels more their level right now.
