Hello! And welcome along to The Athletic’s live coverage of Chelsea vs Arsenal.
It is the final Premier League game before the last international break of 2024, and what a game is promises to be.
Both teams can keep themselves in the hunt for the title with a win this afternoon after Manchester City’s losing run stretched to four games yesterday.
But, with Liverpool going so strongly under Arne Slot, defeat today for Chelsea or Arsenal will leave them 10 points back from the leaders.
Still a few hours to go until kick-off in this one, so stick with us!
