Top spot in the Premier League table could be Arsenal's for at least 48 hours this weekend, as the Gunners trek to Stamford Bridge to square off with London rivals Chelsea on Saturday evening.

Only an inferior goals scored tally is keeping Mikel Arteta's men behind Tottenham Hotspur, whose former head coach Mauricio Pochettino is belatedly finding his feet in the blue half of West London. Arsenal's admirable defensive record away from home is at risk of being broken against a reinvigorated Chelsea team, but the Blues' ongoing injury crisis could prevent them from picking up where they left off against Arteta's title-chasers.

Having struggled for results at Stamford Bridge for so long, Arsenal appear to have found a consistent formula for success on their hosts' territory, and a greater depth of talent in reserve may prove to be the difference in the second half as Arteta's side halt Chelsea's revival to go top.

本周末英超积分榜的头名至少有48个小时可能属于阿森纳，因为枪手将在周六晚上前往斯坦福桥迎战伦敦的对手切尔西。

仅仅是进球数上的劣势让米克尔·阿尔特塔的球队落后于托特纳姆热刺，他们的前主教练毛里西奥·波切蒂诺在西伦敦的蓝色半场找到了自己的脚。阿森纳令人钦佩的客场防守记录有可能被重新焕发活力的切尔西打破，但蓝军持续的伤病危机可能会阻止他们在对阵阿尔特塔的追名者时继续前进。

在斯坦福桥苦苦挣扎了这么长时间后，阿森纳似乎已经找到了在主场取得成功的一致公式，而在下半场，阿尔特塔的球队可能会阻止切尔西的复兴，从而取得领先。
