League leaders Arsenal take on 12th place Tottenham in the second North London derby of the season
as the Gunners try to stay clear of Manchester United.

quality opposition in Portsmouth and Everton.
Arsenal jumped back from a 3-1 midweek loss at Sevilla and a 1-0 deficit to beat Aston Villa 2-1 at

much.

Middlesbrough.
Avram Grant's Chelsea travel to the Emirates to face cross-town rivals Arsenal this Sunday. The
day's fixtures, which also see Manchester United face off against Liverpool, could very well decide
which team is at the top of the table at the halfway point of the season.
Arsenal are in a bit of a rough patch of form right now, but a win over Steaua Bucharest in the
midweek, in conjunction with the return of Abou Diaby and Robin van Persie, will ensure that the
Gunners are confident coming in to this match.
Arsenal stayed at the top of the Premier League after defeating Chelsea 1-0 at the Emirates.

The Blues put up a good fight, but a mistake from Chelsea keeper Petr Cech led to the only goal of
the match in first-half stoppage time.
Arsenal went 21 games unbeaten this season before finally losing 3-1 to Sevilla at the Ramon
Sanchez Pizjuan. The Gunners' fine run of form included draws with both Manchester United and
Liverpool, and victories over Sevilla and arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
However, Arsene Wenger's young squad have only managed to pick up four points in their last
three Premier League matches since losing top spot in Group H of the Champions League to the
Sevillistas.
Arsenal completed the double over arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur as they escaped from a nervy
encounter with three points. The Gunners, who were heavy favorites to win the match despite
Tottenham's recent resurgence, went a goal up just after halftime when Emmanuel Adebayor scored his
tenth league goal of the season, but Dimitar Berbatov levelled in the 66th.
