Chelsea vs Arsenal match referee confirmed

Chelsea entertain London rivals Arsenal in Sunday's Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues are presently second in the league standings with 23 points, six behind the Gunners.

They have the opportunity to close the gap this weekend when the Gunners make the trip to west London.

Ahead of the game, the Premier League have confirmed that Anthony Taylor will referee the derby.

Taylor has been guilty of making controversial decisions in the part, particularly in Chelsea games.

Chelsea fans have personally voiced frustration and it remains to be seen how he fares at the weekend.

The Blues previously won 2-1 against Liverpool this season when Taylor was the referee at the Bridge.

The Conference League champions don't have a good recent record against Arsenal in any competition.

However, they will go into the weekend's game with confidence amid their impressive run of form of late.

The same can be said about Arsenal. It promises to be a fascinating derby affair with no clear favourite.
