With Chelsea and Arsenal set to face off at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, GOAL recollects one of the iconic strikes in the London derby.

Arsene Wenger’s side were seemingly set for a victory at the home of the enemy. That outstanding effort against Arsenal, though, remains his best in a Chelsea shirt. What followed was truly remarkable and has to go down as one of the Premier League’s greatest long-range efforts. This was consequential as it was the Blues’ first home success over the North London giants in a decade. However, the ex-Olympique Lyon man had other ideas. Admittedly, there was pressure from Gilberto Silva which probably put him off.

It gives an advantage to both sides heading into the derby between Chelsea and Arsenal on Wednesday night, with at least one of the two sides set to extend their lead over them. Owen says the Blues are back on top form and that the Gunners could be be in trouble after an awful run recently. Michael Owen says that Arsenal's decision to let Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leave the club in January could prove costly in the Mikel Arteta's quest for a place in the Champions League places. For Chelsea, they currently sit in an awkward position with the Blues all but guaranteed a top-four finish, but are too far behind the top two to be involved in a title race. Arsenal were thought to be in the driving seat just two weeks ago, but defeat in each of their last three games has completely altered proceedings. It comes after a horrific fortnight for Mikel Arteta's side that has completely changed the balance of the race for Champions League qualification. Arsenal are now three points off of the pace, with their clash with Chelsea representing a significant examination of their top-four credentials. The defeat means that the Gunners have fallen three points behind Tottenham Hotspur in the race for the top four. Meanwhile, Antonio Conte’s side have a fairly kind run-in with a trip to Liverpool the only real cause for concern. "We're going to go there as always to win the match and that is going to be our intention tomorrow when we're at Stamford Bridge." “We want to play a physical game again, want to demand again from the team. Rest assured, we will be bringing you all of the build-up, team news and reaction from Stamford Bridge throughout the evening as the Gunners aim to re-establish themselves back in the Champions League race.

ON THIS DAY: Four years ago, the Arsenal icon announced he would be leaving the club after an illustrious 22-year reign that saw the Frenchman change the ...

After four years in the wilderness, Arsenal are finally starting to show signs of restoring their values once more. This decision caused untold outrage from fans who saw the decision as little more than the Kroenkes trying to protect their own financial status. To all the Arsenal lovers take care of the values of the club. A home clash with Everton was marred by pre-match protests from the Emirates Stadium faithful who had come to the end of their tether with KSE's ownership. Many saw the Spaniard's message as a dig at the Kroenkes. That final passage, four years on, sticks out like a sore thumb with the ability to look at how the Gunners have fared since his departure.

Meanwhile, it appears as though Asensio could yet decide to extend his stay at Real Madrid by signing a new and improved contract over the coming months. Arsenal are said to be one of several clubs with an interest in landing Asensio, who has scored 10 goals in all competitions for Real Madrid this season. Asensio has been heavily linked with a move away from Real Madrid ahead of next season after failing to shake his bit-part role under Carlo Ancelotti's management at the Bernabeu.

He's back! Takehiro Tomiyasu has been involved in a full Arsenal training session for the first time since February and Mikel Arteta must now decide on a ...

Whether this game is going to be too early for him or not, again we will decide it today after the training session." In fact, his last appearance to date remains the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg defeat against Liverpool towards the end of January. As a result, those decisions may hint at the plan being to hold Tomiyasu back for the Manchester United game on Saturday or put him on the bench against Chelsea. If it's the latter, then it will be somewhat of a new role for him as since arriving at Arsenal last summer, he has only once been named amongst the substitutes in a matchday squad, with his first 17 appearances for the club all coming as a starter.

Mikel Arteta has avoided using Arsenal's third substitute despite being in losing positions but the manager has given a clue as to why.

Arteta sees their presence as an experience in itself, to be around the senior players on a matchday. Meanwhile, youth star Omari Hutchinson has been on the bench on several occasions now without being brought on despite the need for some dynamic spark that the youngster is certainly capable of. Elneny was brought on ahead of the Mexican international. There were other options on the benches in both a midfield and attacking sense. However, besides the obvious irritation at the match results, fans have also been frustrated by the lack of a third substitute being made. Watching the side that should have taken points from Manchester City in January lose to Brighton, Southampton and Crystal Palace successfully rightly drives supporters mad.

MIKEL ARTETA has addressed comments made by Eddie Nketiah over a lack of Arsenal minutes.

That the fact that we have big plans for him at this club for the future, and this is where we are today and we have to accept that reality.” "I’m just trying to focus on the season until May and make sure I finish that in a good way and then sit down and see what I think is the best opportunity to allow me to take those steps and develop. We have to treat every player with the duty that we have. "This is what we want from the players that haven’t had the minutes. The Spaniard stated: “He is right to be upset. Mikel Arteta has insisted Eddie Nketiah is right to feel "upset" after the Arsenal striker opened up on his frustrations over a lack of game time.

And that is a huge shame not only because it will impact the atmosphere of this London derby but it is the ideal evening for football. Stamford Bridge will not be full this evening with only Chelsea season ticket holders allowed to attend for the home side. Writing in his Sky Sports column, Merson said: "Arsenal are still in the top four race. That's of course if they get the job done tonight. Bukayo Saka at right wing back is something I have to say I'm skeptical about if that does turn out to be the case, but I do get the idea of playing it cautious up against this formidable Chelsea side. Takehiro Tomiyasu not even making the bench again is a worry but here's hoping he can make it back in time for Saturday's clash with Manchester United. They are in the top four now.

On examination, this could be a high-scoring affair, with Chelsea keen to sew up Champions League qualification as soon as possible and Arsenal desperate to stay in the race. From being in a strong position suddenly they must win tonight simply to get back on level terms with fourth-placed Tottenham with both sides having six games to go. 70 minutes to KO: Not long now until the teams are announced but Arsenal will be wearing black armbands tonight. 60 minutes to KO: We have the Arsenal team for tonight. 100 minutes to KO: Arsenal must wish that they could press rewind and start April again. 40 minutes to KO: The teams will be out warming up shortly. 30 minutes to KO: The build-up on UK television is well under way with Sky Sports previewing the game. Chelsea have been the better side and did not deserve to be behind and they hit back immediately after Christensen's blunder had gifted Arsenal the lead. "There is nobody here" they sing in what seems to be a non-stop chant designed to mock their opponents. He leads their attacking statistics with 10 goals and eight assists and he has created 41 chances over the course of the season. Arsenal are looking a threat on the flanks when they do get the ball forward. Dream start for Arsenal and it is a real gift.

Drifts inside, curls a wonderful cross into the box. Bukayo Saka got an increasing amount of joy on the right wing, seemingly beating Marcos Alonso at will, and he was involved as the Gunners restored their lead. Andreas Christensen played a terrible backpass, Eddie Nketiah pounced on it and finished with consumate ease past Edouard Mendy for his first Premier League goal of the season. 60% of the ball for Chelsea in that first-half. What a mad half of football, played at an insane pace. Big half to come for Arsenal.

Thomas Tuchel's side are back in form as the Gunners come to town. Join Rob Smyth for updates.

Chelsea are going to finish third, barring a tale of the seriously unexpected, whereas Arsenal are involved in an increasingly messy struggle for fourth place. Injuries, outgoing loans and the inherent irreplaceability of Thomas Partey have left Arsenal short in recent weeks, and few people fancy them to get anything tonight. There will be a reduced crowd at Stamford Bridge the night. Christensen played a poor backpass, well short of Mendy, and Nketiah was onto it in a flash. He cut inside and hit a pretty tame shot that took a deflection off Xhaka, who turned away from the ball, and spun past Ramsdale. I’m pretty sure Werner’s shot was going wide, in which case it will go down as a Xhaka own goal. Another way, perhaps, in which that Wenger-era Arsenal seems to span the birth of Football Today.” Loftus-Cheek won the ball 30 yards from goal and gave it to Werner on the left. It was an excellent break, starting with an indecently cool nutmeg on Alonso by Xhaka. Eventually Odegaard played a short pass to Smith Rowe, who ran onto the ball in the D and shaped a sweet first-time shot into the far corner. Nketiah turns Sarr smartly, 22 yards out, and cracks a left-footed shot just wide of the near post. It was a pretty poor challenge from Mount, actually, and he’s fortunate not to be booked. 25 min Saka’s deflected shot is headed across goal by Nketiah and volleyed off target by the stretching Tavares. No matter: Tavares was offside. That was crying out for Mick Harford, arriving late to put the ball and four Chelsea defenders into the net.
