Cesc Fabregas' return to Arsenal.

The Gunners have won their last eight League games but does anyone believe that Wenger’s side will earn their first win over Mourinho’s Chelsea at the 13th attempt?

WHAT THEY SAID

Speaking ahead of the match, Arsene Wenger urged Gunners fans not to jeer Fabregas on his return to the Emirates, and give him the 'respect he deserves'.

“I want every [player to be respected] and Cesc Fabregas when he comes to the Emirates on Sunday to be respected like he deserves,” said the Arsenal manager.

“The regret I have is that he wanted to leave here," he continued.
