Martin Atkinson has been confirmed as the referee for Chelsea's upcoming London derby with Arsenal.
Atkinson took charge of the Gunners' 2-1 loss to Manchester City earlier this season - his last Arsenal encounter - and was also the man in the middle for Chelsea's 2-0 defeat by Tottenham at White Hart Lane.#
This weekend's encounter will be the second between Chelsea and Arsenal this season, with the latter having triumphed 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium in September.
