Cesc Fabregas gets a few jeers on his first touch in the Chelsea midfield but it was a fairly subdued booing. Eden Hazard out on the left so far, they may keep it fluid.

Oscar is the man in the middle in the very early stages for Chelsea. A 'false nine'.

Willian to Oscar - and we are under way.

An impeccable minute of silence to mark the 30th anniversary of the Bradford fire.

Dominic Solanke may be the future but I reckon Eden Hazard - slightly out of position - remains a better option today. Come on.

"Lots of talk about why Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has decided not to blood gifted young striker Dominic Solanke - who was pulled out of an under-21 game on Thursday - but it is fair to say the evidence suggests "The Special One" knows what is required for games such as this and invariably gets his calls spot on."

Jose Mourinho takes his seat very early at the Emirates, he looks like he can't wait for it to be over to be honest. Teams in the tunnel, John Terry looks focussed. Can Chelsea do it and move to within a win of the title?

Did you honestly think Dominic Solanke would start at Arsenal? Really?

James: Once again Mourinho fails to make good on his promise to blood youngsters into the team. What more does Dominic Solanke need to do to get an opportunity?

David Zimmerman: The speed of Hazard, Willian and Ramires will be too much for Mertesacker to handle.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas should get "the respect he deserves" today.

Fabregas, 27, joined Arsenal when he was 16 but left to return to his boyhood club Barcelona in 2011.

Wenger has previously said he does not regret not re-signing the midfielder.

"The regret I have is that he wanted to leave here," said Wenger, who turned down a buy-back option for Fabregas last summer.

"This club and myself had a very positive influence on Cesc's life, so I would be a bit uncomfortable to have to justify today why he is not here.

"I believe I would rather it was the other way around."

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger tells Sky Sports that defender Per Mertesacker almost did not make the game: "It looked unlikely, but he had two good sessions on Friday and Saturday.

"We want to continue our run and share a positive moment with our fans. We want a strong finish going into the FA Cup final.

"Against Chelsea, ideally you don't what to lose the ball or give set-pieces away - it will happen so we have to organise quickly and stop Eden Hazard from going well on the counter attack."

The Gunners are looking for a 10th consecutive league victory at the Emirates. They haven't dropped points at home since losing 2-1 to Manchester United on 22 November.

How do we expect Chelsea to play this afternoon?

They were happy - delighted in fact - to sit back at home to Manchester United last weekend and pick them off with one clinical breakaway. More of the same?

Will Arsene Wenger get annoyed with the MOTD cameras like Louis van Gaal did last week?

Jose Mourinho also said, in a roundabout way, that he is not playing Didier Drogba today as he needs him to face Leicester on Wednesday as Loic Remy and Diego Costa will both be out.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho: "The plan is to win the game. Our situation is more than good, it is very very good but we will try to win the game.

"I don't tell you if one player plays as a forward."

Times football writer Alyson Rudd on Cesc Fabregas' return to Arsenal this afternoon: "Fabregas was completely beloved when he was there. When the fans realised what a player he was they adored him and they adored him.

"He was the perfect player for that club but never disguised that Barcelona was his club. It didn't quite work for him there.

"There was a clause that could have brought him back to Arsenal but life had moved on. Arsene Wenger had signed other players and why would he spend £35m on a player he didn't need?

"They are cross at Arsenal that he went to Chelsea but I don't blame Fabregas.

"Chelsea have used his talents properly. He has been key to unlocking the toughest defences and has grown into a better player by being at Chelsea."

Cesc Fabregas is back at the Emirates today. What sort of reception will he get?

Fabregas has a league-high 16 Premier League assists this season. Only Thierry Henry (20 in 2002-03), Frank Lampard (18 in 2004-05) and Fabregas himself (17 in 2007-08) have ever registered more in a single Premier League campaign.

What a season...

BBC Sport chief football writer Phil McNulty at the Emirates

"So what is it to be? Will Chelsea be just three points away from the title with a win at Arsenal today or will Arsenal Wenger finally be able to use victory over Jose Mourinho at the 13th attempt as evidence of his side's progress this season?

"Chelsea's move towards the title is often damned with faint praise but they have been on course for the Premier League almost since the first ball was kicked this season. Arsenal, however, will want to delay the celebrations and show how far they have come since they were thrashed 6-0 at Stamford Bridge in Wenger's 1,000th game in charge just over a year ago."

"We're so obsessed with talking about Eden Hazard at Chelsea. But bringing Nemanja Matic was a masterstroke from Jose Mourinho - he's not just a destroyer, he also makes little runs which create things."
