Chelsea aims to regain their position in the top five following Liverpool’s win against West Ham, while Manchester City has narrowed the gap to leaders Arsenal to just two points ahead of the upcoming match on Sunday.

Rosenior’s team arrives at the Emirates after failing to secure a victory in their last eight league encounters with the Gunners. Arsenal boasts a strong home performance against Chelsea, having triumphed in all three league matches played in north London.

Mikel Arteta’s team earned bragging rights last month by eliminating Chelsea from the Carabao Cup, advancing to the final. Now, Rosenior will be looking for payback as they aim to undermine the hosts’ title ambitions.

Importantly, Chelsea will be missing Marc Cucurella and Estevao Willian, while Dario Essugo and Jamie Gittens are still sidelined for the match against Arsenal.

Considering Chelsea’s recent poor performance against Arsenal, Rosenior understands that a win on Sunday would make a strong statement, but he emphasizes that this isn’t his only goal.

"It would be a remarkable achievement to overcome Arsenal," remarked the Chelsea manager. "My goal is to win every match. I don’t approach it that way; my focus is solely on securing victories in each game."

"I don’t focus on the statements we might make or not make. It’s all about winning each game you participate in. People are free to express their opinions and say whatever they wish about me, my lifestyle, or my appearance. It’s irrelevant."

"My priority is ensuring my team secures victories in football matches. I’m not here to make headlines; my goal is to assist my team in winning as many games as we can.”
