Norwich V Fulham live Stream Premier League– Preview 26 Dec 2013

Norwich midfielder Jonny Howson missed the draw at Sunderland with a back injury and is a doubt to face Fulham. Russell Martin has overcome an ankle problem, while fit-again striker Ricky van Wolfswinkel is pushing for a start. Fulham forward Dimitar Berbatov is an injury doubt as he continues to struggle with a groin strain.
It is in defence where manager Rene Meulensteen has his biggest problems, with both Brede Hangeland (back) and Philippe Senderos (abductor) ruled out.
There's no doubt this is a deliciously unpredictable Premier League season at the top of the table, and I doubt it's ever been more intriguing towards the less desirable end either. Norwich, for me, are one of this season's great mysteries. Have the Canaries ever in their history had a squad so full of genuine attacking quality? Van Wolfswinkel, Hooper, Elmander, Redmond, Becchio. On paper, it's a squad which should be wreaking havoc in the attacking third yet Norwich are averaging less than a goal a game.
That concerns the fans greatly, who long to see a less risk-averse team with the handbrake finally released. Facing a team in the bottom three is surely the ideal time for that.
Carrow Road is special for me - it's where I made my Match of the Day debut, nine years ago to the day. City failed to score then (losing 2-0 to Spurs), and have never actually scored a home Premier League goal on Boxing Day.
Fulham's Premier League longevity has never been based around a good away record, but right now they need to start picking up points regardless of the venue. A run of three points from a possible 27 suggests a malaise which will test Rene Meulensteen's credentials to the absolute limit.
The new manager's start has been undermined by injuries - especially defensively. The losses of Brede Hangeland and Phillipe Senderos for the Christmas mini-season will hit hard.
Dimitar Berbatov may return at Carrow Road, but his output of just three Premier League goals offers some insight into why Fulham will have taken their Christmas turkey in the bottom two.
Historically, mind you, this has proved a fruitful fixture for Fulham. Norwich haven't won this game in any competition since 1986.
This meeting will doubtless prove anxious, tight and edgy. Winning it may come down to which manager is bold enough to risk losing it.

Head-to-head
Fulham are unbeaten in their last 12 matches against Norwich in all competitions (W9, D3). They have scored 27 goals during this period and conceded just four.
Norwich have only lost three of 17 league games at Carrow Road (W6, D8, L3) this calendar year.
Fulham's joint-biggest win in Premier League history was 6-0 against Norwich in May 2005, a day that saw the Canaries relegated.

Norwich
Norwich are unbeaten in their last three league matches (W1, D2) - it's their longest run without defeat this season.
Chris Hughton's side have kept six clean sheets so far this season; only Everton, West Ham (both eight) and Tottenham (seven) have more.
This is the Canaries' fifth Premier League fixture on Boxing Day. They failed to score in any of the previous four (D1, L3).
Gary Hooper has scored four goals in his last seven matches, including three in his last three appearances at Carrow Road.

Fulham
It is just three points from a possible 27 for Fulham (W1, L8).
Fulham have only won one of their previous 11 Premier League matches played on 26 December (W1, D6, L4); a 2-0 win at home to Southampton in 2003.
Dimitar Berbatov has scored five goals and contributed five assists in six Premier League appearances on 26 December.
Berbatov is one of only five players in Premier League history to score a hat-trick on Boxing Day (Manchester United v Wigan in 2011).

Newcastle V Stoke live Stream Premier League– Preview 26 Dec 2013

Match Preview: Thursday 26th December 2013,One of the important match Newcastle V Stoke of Premier League Live High Quality Streaming,Newcastle V Stoke  streaming is available here Newcastle V Stoke Live Stream online video Premier League Video Free The match will take plcae at St James' Park 12/26/13 Preview Pictures and Wallpapers its mean all things are available in my blog please see and check here for latest things.Preview Pictures and Wallpapers its mean all things are available in my blog please see and check here for latest things Newcastle V Stoke Live Stream Newcastle V Stoke,Newcastle V Stoke online free,Newcastle V Stoke Live High Quality Streaming video.Newcastle V Stoke at St James' Park Thursday 26th December 2013, kick-off 15:00 (GMT). Newcastle United are without suspended midfielder Cheick Tiote, who received his fifth booking of the season against Crystal Palace.Jonas Gutierrez is nursing a calf problem and will be assessed.Stoke midfielder Stephen Ireland is available again, having missed the win over parent club Aston Villa under the terms of his loan agreement.Defender Robert Huth will miss all of the Potters' festive fixtures as he recovers from a knee operation.
This is something of a Christmas treat for the Toon Army: a rare home game for them to enjoy on Boxing Day.
They certainly have been enjoying the football served up by Alan Pardew's side over the last couple of months. Since October, Newcastle have won six of their eight matches to soar up the table. Once concerned about being on the fringes of the relegation battle, talk is now of Europe - and not necessarily another crack at the Europa League.While others debate which of the Merseyside clubs might qualify for the Champions League, few consider Newcastle. And that's probably the way the Geordies like it. Pardew has done a magnificent job in remobilising his squad into an exciting, efficient unit. Once again his Frenchmen are to the fore, with the flair of Yohan Cabaye, the energy of Moussa Sissoko and the goals of Yoan Gouffran to name but three.
But it's not just a Gallic tale. Don't underestimate the industry of Cheick Tiote and Vernon Anita, the class of Fabricio Coloccini and goalkeeper Tim Krul.
With Arsenal visiting St James' on Sunday, the temptation will be to consider Stoke as easier opponents. That could be dangerous because, like Newcastle, the Potters have hit a rich seam of form with recent impressive victories over Aston Villa and Chelsea.
Mark Hughes insisted through the dark days of September and October that his team would get better and so it's proved.
Their four-game unbeaten run is their best for over a year. Charged with taking Stoke on to another level, the Welshman is currently on course to do just that. They're 10th in the table and under Tony Pulis they never finished in the top half.
Securing a rare win at Newcastle would strengthen their case considerably.

Head-to-head
Stoke have won just once at St James' Park in all competitions since 1976 - a 2-1 victory in 2010.
Newcastle have won three of their last four matches against Stoke, including a dramatic last-minute 2-1 victory at St James' Park last March.
Yohan Cabaye and Papiss Cisse have both scored three goals in their last three league appearances against Stoke, while Jon Walters has scored in four of his last five Premier League appearances against Newcastle.

Newcastle
They have lost just one of their last eight league matches (W6, D1, L1).
The Magpies have scored in 14 of their last 15 league games.
It will be a year to the day on Boxing Day that an English player last scored a league goal for Newcastle United (James Perch against Manchester United).
They have lost six of their last seven Premier League matches played on 26 December - although this is only their second home game in the last 12 seasons to be played on Boxing Day.
A win in this fixture would be their 200th victory at home in the Premier League.

Stoke
This is Mark Hughes' longest unbeaten run as a Premier League manager since March 2011, when he was in charge of Fulham.
The Potters have lost only one of their last 16 league matches in December and are unbeaten in their last 12 since losing 3-0 at Manchester City on 21 December 2011.
Like Newcastle, they have lost just one of their last eight league matches (W3, D4, L1).
This is the third time in six seasons in the Premier League that they have had 21 points after 17 matches. Their lowest tally was 20 points, in 2008-09.

Everton defender Leighton Baines could return on Boxing Day after a month out with a broken toe. Nikica Jelavic is available after missing the win at Swansea with a hamstring strain, while Steven Pienaar and Sylvain Distin should be fit.Sunderland have defensive issues, with Wes Brown starting a three-match ban and John O'Shea doubtful with a shoulder injury. Carlos Cuellar (hip) and keeper Keiren Westwood (shoulder) are still out.For many years Evertonians used to wonder what their side could achieve if they got off to a good start. Traditionally successful as the season wore on, they were left to agonise over those classic football fan statements: "What if?" and "If only".
Now, with just one defeat suffered and confidence sky high, it's not just Champions League qualification that could be beckoning but a title challenge itself.
At Swansea on Sunday, after their spectacular winner by Ross Barkley, you could certainly make out a "We're gonna win the league" chant.
And all this achieved in Roberto Martinez's first few months in charge.
It's a stunning inaugural campaign which, should they beat Sunderland on Boxing Day, will have already gathered him more points than he managed throughout last season with Wigan.
The visitors will arrive in desperate form and against a side they've only beaten once in 17 meetings.
Even in this most open and unpredictable of seasons its hard to mount a case for anything other than a home win.

Head-to-head
Sunderland's victory over Everton at the Stadium of Light in April ended a run of 16 Premier League games without a win in this fixture (D4, L12).
Everton have won their last six league matches at home against Sunderland and scored 20 goals in the process.
This fixture is the 11th Boxing Day fixture between the clubs and the third during the Premier League era. Everton won 5-0 in the only previous encounter played at Goodison Park on 26 December, with Don Hutchinson scoring twice.

Everton
Everton must avoid defeat against Sunderland and Southampton to go unbeaten at home in the league for a whole calendar year. They have only managed this feat on three occasions (1894, 1939, 1962).
Roberto Martinez's side have accrued 34 points so far during the 2013-14 campaign, two less than his Wigan team picked up throughout the whole of last season.
The Toffees have not lost in six Premier League fixtures on Boxing Day since a 4-0 defeat at Aston Villa in 2005 (W3, D3).
Romelu Lukaku scored three goals in two Premier League appearances against Sunderland last season while on loan at West Brom.

Sunderland
Sunderland are on a six-match winless streak (D3, L3), their worst run of form since an eight-game spell without a win at the start of the season.
The Black Cats have the league's 11th-best record against clubs in the top half (W2, D1, L6). Those wins came against Newcastle and Manchester City, their only victories this season.
Sunderland have picked up just three away points this season (D3, L5), the equal fewest along with Crystal Palace.
This is only the second time in 12 years that Sunderland have played an away fixture on Boxing Day.

Ashley Cole could be handed a rare recent start at left-back, while Michael Essien is available again after suspension.Swansea striker Michu is to undergo surgery on his ankle and will be out for six weeks.
Nathan Dyer, Garry Monk and Michel Vorm remain absent because of injury but Leon Britton has overcome a broken toe.
Jose Mourinho left the Emirates on Monday night with cries of 'Boring, Boring, Chelsea' ringing in his ears and I'm sure he won't have minded that one bit. His team produced a controlled, disciplined performance and, while Arsenal felt they were the only side trying to win the game, Chelsea never looked like losing.
There were some similarities to the stalemate against Manchester United at Old Trafford earlier in the season and there's something to be said for making sure you don't lose the big games on the road.
The upshot is that Chelsea are very handily placed at Christmas, just two points behind the leaders Liverpool in a tightly-packed title race.
If Monday's game was one Chelsea were determined not to lose, then this is one they'll be all out to win against last season's Capital One Cup winners, Swansea have only taken 38 points from 35 league matches played in this calendar year.
The Swans beat Chelsea in the semi-finals en route to Wembley last season, winning 2-0 at Stamford Bridge when Michu and Danny Graham seized on two errors by Branislav Ivanovic.
Swansea are one of only four teams along with Newcastle, Tottenham and Aston Villa with more wins away than at home this season.
Winning this fixture looks like a tall order, though, against a side which hasn't lost at home in the league under Jose Mourinho, and which is unbeaten on Boxing Day since the Portuguese began his first spell at the club back in 2004.

Head-to-head
Swansea's only league victory at Stamford Bridge came in their first-ever meeting back in November 1925.
Swansea have won just two of the last 13 meetings in all competitions (W2, D5, L6).
There have been three red cards for Chelsea players in the last six meetings with Swansea in all competitions.

Chelsea
The 0-0 draw with Arsenal was only Chelsea's second clean sheet in their last 12 league games.
They have recovered a league-high 11 points from losing positions this season.
Chelsea took part in the highest scoring Premier League game on Boxing Day when they drew 4-4 with Aston Villa in 2007.
Frank Lampard has played an unrivalled 15 Premier League games on 26 December.

Swansea
They are three points worse off than at the same stage of last season.
Swansea have only won two of their last nine league matches.
They have benefited from five own goals this season. Apart from when Manchester United had 10 in 2009-10, no team has had more than six in one season.

Cardiff V Southampton live Stream Premier League– Preview 26 Dec 2013

Southampton quartet Kelvin Davis, Luke Shaw, Nathaniel Clyne and Dani Osvaldo could all be fit to play.
Jose Fonte and Maya Yoshida may feature after minor injuries, but Artur Boruc and Victor Wanyama are out.
There's a parody twitter account that is purportedly from an American fan in which the writer talks about the Premier League with references to the major sports in the United States.
So, teams are franchises, with names like London soccer cannons, Northwich yellow ducks and the North London soccer chickens, and although it is meant as a spoof it is sometimes uncannily close to reality. The controversial events of the last week at Cardiff City are so ridiculous that even someone with a creative mind for farce like the above American couldn't have invented them.
It will certainly be an interesting Boxing Day, following the news that Malky Mackay will stay as manager for "the foreseeable future". As at Anfield, the Cardiff boss will be cheered throughout the game, while the owner will receive a very different reception.
Some have been comparing Cardiff with the events at Southampton at the start of the year. Back in January, Southampton fans were surely wondering what direction their club was heading in after the departure of popular manager Nigel Adkins.
But the comparison ends there. The act was done and dusted in a decisive manner and almost a year later the Saints have made huge progress under Mauricio Pochettino.
England caps for Rickie Lambert , Adam Lallana and Jay Rodriguez have been the high points in a remarkable year for the Hampshire club.
Let's not forget that it has also been a fantastic year for Cardiff, winning the Championship title and gaining promotion to the Premier League for the first time.
Their obvious target this season was 17th and consolidation in the top division, in a way that teams like Southampton, Stoke and - dare one say it - Swansea have done.
However, the completely unrealistic expectations of the owner mean that 2013 is ending in bitterness, rancour and discord, and that is a real shame.

Head-to-head
Cardiff have won their last seven home matches with Southampton, each by a one-goal margin.
The away side has not won this fixture in the last 17 league attempts since Southampton's 5-3 win at Ninian Park on 27 December 1965.

Cardiff
Cardiff have taken seven points from the last 12 available at home.
The Bluebirds have gained five points from losing positions this season (W1, D2). Only Aston Villa (seven) in the bottom half of the table have more.
Malky Mackay's side have scored just five goals in their last nine Premier League games, and four of those have come in the second half.
Peter Whittingham has been involved in half of Cardiff's last 12 league goals, with two goals and four assists.

Southampton
Southampton are winless in their last six league matches. They are yet to endure a seven-game winless streak since they returned to the Premier League.
Mauricio Pochettino's side have gone a league-high eight games without keeping a clean sheet, and conceded 17 goals in the process.
Southampton have won only one of their previous 12 Premier League games played on 26 December (W1, D6, L5) and scored just three goals in their last seven top-flight Boxing Day matches.
Adam Lallana has scored four goals in 17 league games this season, bettering his tally of three goals in 30 top-flight appearances last campaign.

Aston Villa forward Christian Benteke is having physiotherapy in his native Belgium to treat knee and hip injuries and will not face Crystal Palace.
Ron Vlaar (calf) remains a major doubt and Ashley Westwood is suspended, but Gabby Agbonlahor returns from a ban.
Crystal Palace striker Marouane Chamakh serves a one-match suspension for amassing five bookings this season.
Midfielders Kagisho Dikgacoi and Stuart O'Keefe will miss a second successive match with muscular injuries.
Never mind the 12 days of Christmas, the 12 goals of Christmas still haunt Aston Villa.
At this stage last season, Villa went into their Boxing Day clash with Spurs at Villa Park after an 8-0 thrashing at Chelsea. They conceded another four without reply to Tottenham and then finished the year with a 3-0 loss at home to Wigan.
A year on, they now face Crystal Palace in the first of successive home games - and they really need to be looking to win them both. Defeat at Stoke last time out was their third in a row and they can ill-afford any more slip ups.
Villa currently have a six-point cushion between themselves and the danger zone but if they're not careful they could soon find themselves in a whole heap of trouble, especially when you bear in mind that they kick off 2014 with what is already looking like a pivotal fixture at lowly Sunderland.
The sooner Christian Benteke is fit and firing, the better; undoubtedly he's being missed at present. Villa have managed just one goal in their last three outings, although Gaby Agbonlahor should return against a Palace side who have the opportunity to climb out of the bottom three with a win.
The Eagles may have lost the last two but Tony Pulis has improved the organisation in the team in recent weeks. An obvious blow for Palace is the absence of in-form striker Marouane Chamakh, who is suspended.
Pulis described their performance against Newcastle last time out as the worst since he took over. For me, that makes them even more dangerous - he will not stand for another display like that.
Villa have won just one of their last 12 Boxing Day fixtures and this season have picked up only two wins on their own turf. Palace have managed one win and four goals on their travels. This is going to be tense.

Head-to-head
The away side has not won this fixture in the last 13 league and cup meetings since a 1-0 top-flight victory for Crystal Palace in September 1991.
The most recent fixture between the sides was an FA Cup fifth-round replay in February 2010 which Aston Villa won 3-1.

Aston Villa
Villa have only earned 45 points from their last 46 Premier League matches at Villa Park, losing half of those fixtures (W11, D12, L23).
They have failed to score in four of their last five Premier League home games. Villa's tally of six goals at home is the lowest in the division and they are the only side yet to score in the first half in front of their own fans.
Paul Lambert has won more away league games (eight) as manager of Aston Villa than he has at home (seven).
The Villans have won only one of their last 12 Boxing Day matches - a 4-0 home victory over Everton in 2005 (W1, D4, L7).
They have only led at half-time on two occasions, fewer than any other top-flight side bar Cardiff (none).

Crystal Palace
No team has picked up fewer away points than Crystal Palace this season (three, level with Sunderland).
They have only scored four goals in eight away matches.
Palace have followed up successive league wins with consecutive defeats.
According to Opta, they have the lowest average possession figure in the Premier League this season (40.3%). The team with the second lowest figure is Aston Villa (42.2%).
Barry Bannan made 83 league and cup appearances for Villa, scoring two goals, before joining Palace on transfer deadline day earlier this season.

Rangers have some defensive problems ahead of their Scottish League One clash with Stranraer at Stair Park on Saturday. Nicky Law is also expected to be back in contention after missing the last game against Ayr United with a groin injury.
Emilson Cribari and Chris Hegarty are both considered doubtful due to groin and ankle problems respectively.
However, manager Ally McCoist will be able to call on his captain Lee McCulloch, who returns after serving a suspension.
And the Light Blues will again be able to call on a pair of trialists, as they wait for their transfer embargo to end on 1 September.

The Glasgow giants head to Glebe Park on Saturday, having beaten Brechin City 4-1 on the opening day of the season at home.
But McCoist is taking nothing for granted, telling the club's website: "We saw enough from them at Ibrox, particularly in the first hour, which indicates they are a good team.
"Like most of the teams we'll face in the league this year, you'd expect they will be stronger at home."

Hull manager Steve Bruce could field the same starting line-up for the fourth Premier League match in a row on Boxing Day.Robbie Brady is unlikely to overcome a groin problem in time for the game.
Manchester United forward Danny Welbeck is a fitness doubt after suffering a blow to his knee against West Ham at the weekend.
Michael Carrick and Robin van Persie are expected to miss out with respective Achilles and thigh injuries.
Hull City have the best home record in the bottom half of the Premier League this season. In fact, only Stoke plus the top five in the table have won more home points than The Tigers (only EVER a nickname, in my opinion).
Impressive stuff, but it does come with a caveat. Seven of the eight teams to have visited the KC Stadium this season are currently bottom-half teams themselves, with the toughest tests still to come for Steve Bruce's side.
They passed their first really big one superbly by beating Liverpool 3-1 at the start of the month, but that is Hull's only win in their last seven games - and they might just be facing Manchester United at the wrong time. United gave arguably their most accomplished performance of the season in dismissing West Ham on Saturday, and are showing signs of getting used to David Moyes - and he to the club.
A fifth successive win in all competitions would be the best run yet under the new manager.
What's curious about that is that it's being done without Robin van Persie playing or Wayne Rooney scoring! Rooney's gone four games without a goal but seems to be revelling in creating chances for others, and if he plays at the KC Stadium then Hull have a ghost of Christmas present and past to deal with.
In United's last visit - a day out of being four years ago exactly - Rooney scored and made the other two in a 3-1 win. Just for good measure he was also to blame in the build up to the penalty that Hull scored. Oh yes, he then got all the goals at Old Trafford when Hull were beaten 4-0 in the return trip a month later!
He's still one goal away from following Thierry Henry as only the second player to score 150 goals for a single Premier League club. Is Boxing Day the day?

Head-to-head
Manchester United have won their last seven league and cup games against Hull, including the four previous Premier League meetings.
Hull's last win against United was a 2-0 home victory in a Division Two match on 23 November 1974.

Hull City
The Tigers have conceded only three league goals at home - the best record in the top flight.
They have won one of their last seven league games (D3, L3).
Their only previous Premier League game on 26 December was a 5-1 defeat at Manchester City in 2008, when then-manager Phil Brown gave his half-time team talk on the pitch.

Manchester United
The Red Devils have won 16 of the last 17 games they have played on 26 December. The only exception is a 3-1 defeat at Middlesbrough in 2002.
Victory would give them five successive wins in league and cup for the first time under David Moyes. The last time they won five matches in a row was in October 2012.
The reigning champions are unbeaten in their last nine away games in league and cup (W5, D4). Their last defeat on the road was the 4-1 loss at Manchester City on 22 September.

Arsenal V Chelsea live Stream Premier League – Preview 23 Dec 2013

Match Preview: Monday 23 December 2013,One of the important match Arsenal V Chelsea of Premier League Live High Quality Streaming,Arsenal V Chelsea   streaming is available here Arsenal V Chelsea  Live Stream online video Premier League Video Free The match will take plcae at Emirates Stadium 12/23/13 Preview Pictures and Wallpapers its mean all things are available in my blog please see and check here for latest things.Preview Pictures and Wallpapers its mean all things are available in my blog please see and check here for latest things Arsenal V Chelsea  Live Stream Arsenal V Chelsea,Arsenal V Chelsea online free,Arsenal V Chelsea   Live High Quality Streaming video.Arsenal V Chelsea at Emirates Stadium Monday 23 December 2013, kick-off 20:00 (GMT). Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny is ruled out because of a cut to his knee. Jack Wilshere begins a two-game ban for misconduct, but Lukas Podolski is available to make his comeback from a hamstring injury.
Chelsea right-back Branislav Ivanovic returns from suspension, meaning Cesar Azpilicueta reverts to left-back and Ashley Cole will drop to the bench.
Michael Essien serves a one-game ban after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season against Sunderland.
It's easy to forget that Arsenal came out of last weekend's round of Premier League matches still on top of the table.
The nature of their defeat at Manchester City, and the fact that many pundits already thought they couldn't win the league, has seen Arsene Wenger's team practically dismissed as contenders rather than being respected as leaders. If Arsenal were to lose to Chelsea as well, the naysayers will have a field day. Win, lose or draw, the reality is that both Arsenal and Chelsea are likely to be competing for the title well into the spring at least.
Chelsea have already won at the Emirates this season, in a League Cup tie in October. That took to nine the sequence of matches in which Arsene Wenger has tried and failed to beat Jose Mourinho and meant that Chelsea, under a giddying variety of managers, have lost only twice in their last 11 visits to Arsenal.
Dropping any points would see Arsenal relinquish top spot for the first time since September, whilst defeat would be a third consecutive loss for Arsenal for the first time since they were beaten by Barcelona, Tottenham and Wigan in quick succession in the spring of 2010.
But Chelsea look beatable. Mourinho himself has warned that they may win nothing this season, and the League Cup defeat at a spirited but limited Sunderland has raised further question marks - particularly away from home where they have lost four of their last six matches in all competitions.
Scoring goals is one of their more obvious difficulties. Prior to the weekend, there were 11 players who have scored more Premier League goals than Chelsea's top scorer, who is Eden Hazard with six league strikes. The Blues' most prolific scorer in the Premier League, Romelu Lukaku, is playing on loan for Everton.
It's possible that both managers might think a point is a decent outcome, but such is the lingering whiff of antipathy between them, it's possible that both will strain every sinew to inflict a satisfying blow to the other. If they do, it'll be well worth watching.

Head-to-head
Chelsea have won the three most recent encounters, including a 2-0 away win in the fourth round of the League Cup on 29 October.
Arsene Wenger has never won against Jose Mourinho as an opposition manager. His record is four draws and five defeats in nine league and cup games.

Arsenal
In the Gunners' 6-3 defeat at Manchester City, nine of the 13 shots on target resulted in goals.
That result was their heaviest league loss since the 8-2 thrashing at Manchester United in August 2011.
They conceded as many goals at the Etihad Stadium as in their previous 11 league games.
Arsenal are one shy of 1300 Premier League points under Arsene Wenger.

Chelsea
Chelsea have had 11 different managers (excluding short-term caretakers) since Arsene Wenger was appointed, and 12 in total following Jose Mourinho's return for a second spell in charge.
In the last six meetings between the sides, Wenger has faced five different Chelsea managers.
The Blues have kept just one clean sheet in their last 11 Premier League matches.
Eden Hazard has registered 15 Premier League assists since the start of last season. Prior to the latest round of matches, only Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard have matched that tally.
No striker has scored an away league goal for Chelsea in 2013. Fernando Torres was the last centre forward to net on the road for the Blues, doing so in a 3-1 win at Sunderland on 8 December 2012.
Juan Mata has scored in each of his four starts against Arsenal in all competitions for Chelsea.
