What is the form of Arsenal compared to Chelsea?

As for the Blues, they have only twice in their last 11 games, with only one of that coming in the Premier League -- the other being the loss to Tottenham in the Carabao Cup.

Who is injured/suspended for Arsenal vs Chelsea?
Both sides wont be facing fresh injury concerns for this game. The home side could be boosted by the return of Mesut Ozil, who missed out on the squad for the defeat at West Ham, with Emery hinting that he could feature. Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Rob Holding, and Danny Welbeck remain sidelined.
Arsenal vs Chelsea talking points
Can Ozil help his case on Saturday?
In the last couple of months, Ozil has gone from being a key player at Arsenal to reportedly being told he can leave the club. A number of injuries and poor displays has resulted in the German ace being left out of the squad on a few occasions. On Saturday, should he be given the chance to start, Mesut will have to show everyone why he is the club's highest-paid player or risks falling further down the pecking order.
Emery dismisses the Ozil exit rumors
Unai Emery says Mesut Ozil is still in his plans @Arsenal and is hopeful he will be fit to face Chelsea.

An early end to Arsenal's Champions League hopes?
Results as of late haven't favored Emery's side. They now sit six points behind the final Champions League spot and should Chelsea win, Sarri's men will enjoy a nine-point lead over the north London outfit. Given Arsenal's defensive frailties, that is a huge possibility. Should that occur, securing their return would almost be impossible.
