Arsene Wenger will lead his squad to Stamford Bridge, the location that will have caused him plenty of nightmares over the last year. The Frenchman's 1,000th match was spoiled by a heavy 6-0 defeat at the hands of Jose Mourinho's side, and they will be hopeful of avoiding another embarrassing defeat today.
The hosts come into this match in fine form, with the second best defensive unit and an offense that is scoring at will.
Diego Costa can take most of the blame for their high scoring offense, with the Brazilian born striker netting eight goals in six Premier League appearances for his new club. With Drogba out due to injury and Remy the only other healthy striker, Costa will more than likely start his third match in a nine day span.
Jose Mourinho may have some concerns with him playing so often given his struggles with a hamstring injury, but the chances of the Portuguese manager benching arguably his best player are very slim.
Having won five of six, Mou will also be aiming to keep his unbeaten streak against Arsene Wenger.
The Special One has gone head to head with the Frenchman 11 times, winning six and drawing five. Can the Chelsea manager continue that streak today?
Knowing that history is against him, Arsene Wenger reiterated that, but he did not seem to be all that concerned about it.
"If football was just a repeat of the past then you wouldn't play at all because it would be too predicable," he said on Saturday.
"We have an opportunity to put things right on Sunday, so let's take it. This team has made history because they won a trophy last year against all the odds, and we have an opportunity to do it again in a big game against Chelsea."
Setting things straight may be easier said than done, especially when you look at Arsenal's injury concerns.
They will be without Ramsey, Arteta, Walcott, Diaby, Gnabry, Giroud, Debuchy and Sanogo. Offensively they aren't too thin, but at the back, it's a problem.
Nacho Monreal is set to return, but the Gunners are still suspect at the back, and the hosts will be out to take advantage of that.
