The big match of the day sees the Emirates Stadium host a London derby as Arsenal take on Chelsea this afternoon.
Two former players line up against one another as Mikel Arteta and Frank Lampard take to the dugout. But who will they select?
For Arteta, this will be his first home fixture since succeeding Unai Emery as Arsenal manager, while Lampard will be hoping to return to winning ways after their disappointing defeat at home to Southampton last time out.
Standard Sport’s Simon Collings and Jack Rosser run you through how we think the sides will line up…
Arsenal vs Chelsea teams: Predicted line ups
Arsenal XI | Simon Collings
Arteta has some decisions to make ahead of Sunday’s match with Chelsea as a number of players are pushing to make a return.
Hector Bellerin was close to being fit to play against Bournemouth on Boxing Day and could come in at right-back, while Calum Chambers is back from suspension and likely to replace Sokratis in the heart of defence.
Ahead of the back four, Granit Xhaka and Lucas Torreira should start together in midfield after impressing during Arteta’s first game in charge - but the former’s place could be under threat after reports emerged he has agreed to join Hertha Berlin.
In attack, Mesut Ozil is likely to keep his place after excelling against Bournemouth and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang should be deployed out wide on the left again.
That leaves Alexandre Lacazette to lead the line, but there could be a change on the right.
Nicolas Pepe caught the eye off the bench against Bournemouth and looks likely to start in place of Reiss Nelson - who played 90 minutes on Boxing Day.
Predicted line up: Arsenal (4-2-3-1): Leno; Bellerin, Chambers, Luiz, Saka; Xhaka, Torreira; Pepe, Ozil, Aubameyang; Lacazette.
Chelsea XI | Jack Rosser
Lampard thought he had hit on a system that could bring some consistency to his Chelsea side when a switch to a back three saw them play Tottenham off the park.
The Blues were almost flawless as they claimed a win over a big six rival for the first time under Lampard in north London, so the Chelsea boss stuck with the same plan at home to relegation battling Southampton on Boxing Day. It failed spectacularly.
The only solace for Lampard is that his young squad appear to be a side transformed when they escape the pressures of west London. Two away games on the bounce, Arsenal and the Brighton, should be the tonic to Thursday's disappointment.
The biggest call is whether he sticks with the three, thrown out at half-time during defeat to Ralph Hasenhuttl's side, or reverts to a back four.
Defensive stability is the order of the day, especially against a strike force containing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette, so the back three will probably continue.
Reece James is sidelined with an ankle problem but Marcos Alonso, far more comfortable as a wing-back than a full-back is available once more.
Predicted line up: Chelsea (3-4-3): Kepa; Rudiger, Zouma, Tomori; Azpilicueta, Kante, Kovacic, Alonso; Mount, Willian, Abraham
