Chelsea and Arsenal will face off in an eagerly anticipated north London derby on Sunday, with the Blues looking to consolidate their place atop the English Premier league with a win against one of the major rivals for the title this season. The Gunners though know that a win would put them just three points behind their London rivals.

Today's game will start at 2.05 p.m. BST (9.05 a.m. EST) and takes place from Stamford Bridge. The game can be watched online through live stream – free for subscribers - via the link provided below.

Chelsea have got off to a storming start to the season and are the early pace-setters in the English Premier League.

They have 16 points from a maximum 18 across their opening 6 games, but will know they have a big challenge in the form of Arsenal to maintain their unbeaten start to the season.

The Gunners meanwhile won't be as happy with their start to the season so far, but also will realize it hasn't been devastating. If they can win today then they would pull within touching distance of their rivals, and could move up to third in the table.

In team news, Chelsea's Diego will gain his third start in nine days despite an ongoing hamstring problem. The Blues have had a string of vital games and manager Jose Mourinho has been unwilling to leave out his top striker for their important games.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are without Mikel Arteta and Aaron Ramsey as they have calf and hamstring problems respectively.

One major statistic being highlighted ahead of today's game is that Arsenal's Arsene Wenger has never beaten Chelsea boss Mourinho in their 11 previous encounters. That does not bode well for him in today's game, but there has to be a first time for everything, and he will be hoping it's lucky number 12 today.
