Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea
16 December 2007 - Ref: Alan Wiley
Arsenal scorer: Gallas 45
Analysis
Chelsea will be resting their hopes on Nicolas Anelka who has a passion for scoring goals against Arsenal, the club he once played with. Arsenal will be desperate to overturn five games on the spin without a win in the Premiership as they battle back from the fact they dropped an eight point lead on top of the league table.
