Chelsea will most likely enter this clash having been leapfrogged by Manchester City, who face Leeds United on Saturday evening at the Etihad Stadium.
The squad under Enzo Maresca has truly resurged in recent weeks, now enjoying a six-match unbeaten streak across all competitions.
After a 2-0 away league victory over Burnley last weekend, they carried that momentum into a midweek UEFA Champions League tie at Stamford Bridge, where they managed to pummel the Spanish giants Barcelona, 3-0.

Barcelona’s woes were compounded when captain Ronald Araujo received a second yellow card for a poor challenge on Marc Cucurella.
In a battle of teenage prodigies, it was Estevao who shone, scoring a breathtaking solo goal to win his personal duel against Lamine Yamal.
The hosts took the lead courtesy of a Jules Kounde own goal, before Liam Delap found the net himself to seal the Blues’ third win in the competition.
Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta’s charges are flying high this season, having tasted defeat only once.
Their sole loss dates back to August in a 1-0 upset by the struggling reigning champions, Liverpool.
Since then, they have been in formidable form, racking up 13 victories and sharing the points in just two of their 15 subsequent matches.
Following a straightforward 4-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspurs in another London derby last weekend, they hosted German giants Bayern Munich in a midweek UEFA Champions League match at the Emirates Stadium.
A commanding 3-1 win sent them to the top of the group phase, solidifying their status as the only invincible team in the competition so far this season.
Here are the key details for the London Derby between Chelsea and Arsenal on Sunday, along with the essential stats for betting on this highly anticipated match.
