All the rest honestly does not concern me much.
The game kicks off at 12.45pm on Saturday 19th September, and will be shown live on BT Sport 1 and BT Sport 1HD.
Jose Mourinho has confirmed that Willian will miss Chelsea’s clash with Arsenal on Saturday, but hinted that Pedro may well feature at Stamford Bridge, according to the Daily Express.
Key Stat: Arsenal have won seven of their last eight away matches in the Premier League.
Chelsea are struggling in the Premier League, now in 17th place, having taken just four points from their opening five games, goal.com reported on Thursday. “I have done so many good things for Chelsea, but now I am the man with the bad results, but give me the responsibility and I will sort this out”.
Wenger is looking for his side to bounce back from their 2-1 defeat to Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia on Wednesday night. This weekend we are given the chance to see some incredible matches and the list of events is packed.

Goalkeeper Petr Cech was also recalled on his return to the club where he spent 11 years. “I trust him always and he’s one of my men so because he’s on the bench for one game or because I take him off at half time, nothing has changed”.
Arsenal could deal Chelsea the decisive blow in their title hopes, and that should be the main talking point going in, not the possibility of another Wenger-Mourinho spat.
Wenger snubbed Mourinho after the Community Shield last month and their ongoing feud made negative headlines once again.
