We all know that Arsene Wenger's record against Jose Mourinho is far from good and he won't have forgotten the 6 - 0 drubbing at Stamford Bridge that his Arsenal suffered against Chelsea last season.
The Gunners did pick up a good 4 - 1 win at home to Galatasaray last night, but have things improved to the extent that they can get something at Chelsea?
Their former midfielder Stewart Robson was on Off The Ball tonight to preview the game and while he sees no issues in terms of firepower but sees the recent defeat to Borussia Dortmund was a carbon copy of the defensive midfield problems that Wenger's side face
Robson questioned centre-back Per Mertesacker's ability to protect the channels and said that his defensive colleague Laurent Koscielny "made bad decisions".
He wants Calum Chambers to tuck in as a third centre-back when Kieran Gibbs ventures forward from the other flank - something he does not expect to happen because of Wenger's expansive side.
He believes Mourinho will allow Arsenal's defence to play out from the back before overpowering the midfielders and hitting the Gunners on the break.
