Arsenal and Chelsea go head-to-head in a London derby in the English Premier League on Boxing Day.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta will be shovelling his Christmas dinner around the plate in anxious preparation for the rival clash, with his managerial title hanging by a thread of tinsel.

His side are 14th in the EPL table and, following defeat to Everton, even suffered the indignity of being labelled “relegation rivals” by freshly-installed West Brom boss Sam Allardyce.

Thomas Partey won’t be available for the hosts due to injury, with the Gabriels, Martinelli and Magalhaes, in with a prayer of featuring.

Misfiring Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could also miss out having sat out the last two fixtures thanks to a calf problem.

Chelsea are in much better shape, fifth in the table going into the festive programme and having stopped back-to-back defeats becoming three on the spin with another London derby success.

The Blues picked apart West Ham 3-0 at Stamford Bridge on Monday night, easing concerns raised by losses on the road to Wolves and Everton.

Hakim Ziyech is ruled out for this one, although Callum Hudson-Odoi is in with a sniff of returning to action at the Emirates.

Defenders Reece James and Ben Chilwell are both doubtful thanks to knee and ankle niggles respectively.
