Chelsea are looking to complete a Premier League double over Arsenal and all but end their London rival's Champions League qualification hopes.
For the second season running, the Blues can stop the Gunners from competing at Europe's top table after winning the Europa League final last May.
An error from Bernd Leno and a late winner from Tammy Abraham completed a smash-and-grab job in late December.
Chelsea last won home and away over Arsenal four seasons ago with another win on Tuesday opening up a 13-point gap between the two sides.
Date: Tuesday, January 21, 2020
Venue: Stamford Bridge, London
Kick-off time: 8:15pm GMT
Prediction: Arsenal 1-1 Chelsea
Arsenal almost secured a deserved win over Chelsea just three weeks ago but their usual failings came to the fore.
The Blues are unable to string a few results together of late and were pretty dire at Newcastle. All square.
Head to head (H2H) history and results
Chelsea wins: 65
Arsenal wins: 77
Draws: 57
Chelsea are looking for a third win on the trot against Arsenal, including last season's Europa League final.
Team news
Chelsea: Chelsea will hand Reece James a late fitness test ahead of Tuesday's Premier League clash with Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.
The 20-year-old full-back suffered a knee problem in Saturday's 1-0 loss at Newcastle, but has avoided any serious setback.
Fellow full-back Marcos Alonso is fit again after a thigh issue and will be in the squad.
Arsenal: Sokratis is a doubt due to illness, so Shkodran Mustafi should keep his place alongside David Luiz in the heart of defence. Rob Holding is also in contention.
Ainsley Maitland-Niles should stay at right-back as Hector Bellerin has not played since mid-December, while Bukayo Saka is the only option at left-back due to Sead Kolasinac and Kieran Tierney's injuries.
Granit Xhaka and Lucas Torreira are expected to remain as the midfield pairing, although Matteo Guendouzi could make an appearance.
Predicted lineups
Chelsea XI: Kepa; Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Zouma, Emerson; Kante, Jorginho, Mount; Willian, Abraham, Hudson-Odoi
Arsenal XI: Leno; Maitland-Niles, Luiz, Mustafi, Saka; Torreira, Xhaka; Pepe, Ozil, Martinelli; Lacazette

Here's my combined XI of Chelsea vs Arsenal. Obviously I'm choosing players based on form, fitness and availability. So Aubameyang can't feature in this team. This is also based on my assumption that Reece James will play as Lampard has not ruled him out. If Reece isn't fit to play, then I would pick Maitland-Niles as his replacement.
