Chelsea and Arsenal will go head to head in the English Premier League on Saturday in a game that could go a long way to deciding where the title goes this season.

The game will kick off at 12.45 p.m. GMT (8.45 a.m. ET) and can be watched online through live stream – free for subscribers – via the link provided below.

Chelsea are at the top of the EPL coming into this weekend's fixtures, and they are four points ahead of third place Arsenal, but the Gunners have a game in hand. That means if Arsenal can win today they would move to within a point of Chelsea and still have their game in hand.

Liverpool, who are in second place on the same points as Arsenal, will also be watching this game intently, as they too would potentially have the chance to top the table if Chelsea slip up – as they too have a game in hand over the Blues.

In team news, boss Jose Mourinho has reported that Chelsea will be without former Arsenal defender Ashley Cole, who is still out with a knee ligament injury.

The Blues will also be missing midfielders Ramires and Willian, who are suspended following dismissals at Aston Villa last weekend.

For Arsenal, Czech midfielder Tomas Rosicky will face a fitness test prior to the game to see if he'll make it. Aaron Ramsey, Jack Wilshere, Theo Walcott and Abou Diaby all remain out for the Gunners.

Today's game will be Arsene Wenger's 1000<sup>th game in charge of Arsenal, and he hopes to gain a win that could propel Arsenal right into the front line of this year's Premier League race.

With any of the top four still in the fight for the title, the result of today's game could help to decide where the trophy ultimately goes.
