Chelsea travel to Emirates Stadium hoping to respond to their 1-0 loss to Manchester City in the Emirates FA Cup semi-finals.
Mikel Arteta has been impressed by their recent upturn in form - Mauricio Pochettino’s side are unbeaten in the Premier League since early February - and anticipates a tough test in our next London derby.
The two managers played together for Paris Saint-Germain between 2001 and 2002 and there remains a feeling of mutual respect.
“I have huge admiration for Mauricio because I’ve known him since 23 years ago and I really wish him all the best,” Mikel said in his pre-match press conference on Monday afternoon.
