Is Arsenal vs Chelsea on UK TV? How to watch Premier League fixture - KO time and live stream details

Arsenal had been on course to win their first Premier League title since 2003/04 but have recently lost the top spot to Manchester City. A recent run of poor form for the Gunners has seen their title rivals quickly pip them to top spot and Mikel Arteta will need to win all remaining fixtures if he hopes to lift any silverware this year.

To make matters worse, the Gunners last Premier League outing was a 4-1 defeat in Manchester to the Sky Blues where Erling Haaland broke the record for most Premier League goals in a season.

Meanwhile, Chelsea are enduring one of their worst seasons since the turn of the century and currently sit in 12th having lost their last five consecutive matches. Todd Boehly’s decision to bring Frank Lampard back to Stamford Bridge has not seen much success and the Blues have scored just once since the former Everton manager rejoined the club.

With Chelsea hotly anticipating the arrival of Mauricio Pochettino and Arsenal desperate to not bottle the title, here is all you need to know ahead of the upcoming London derby...
