Chelsea are preparing to host Arsenal in what promises to be a huge Premier League clash at midday on Sunday.
The Blues host Mikel Arteta’s side looking to improve on their poor recent home record against the Gunners.
Arsenal have won the last two fixtures between the sides at Stamford Bridge and can go back top of the Premier League table with a win on Sunday.
Of course, Graham Potter was not in charge of Chelsea for those previous two home defeats and will be confident he can turn the tide after adding another win to his collection in mid-week against Dinamo Zagreb.
The match is undoubtedly a big one, but it holds increased significance for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who faces his former side for the first time since leaving under a cloud for Barcelona in January.
Here Mirror Football brings you the latest Chelsea headlines on match day.
Aubameyang ready for reunion
Aubameyang did not leave Arsenal on good terms, with a falling out with Arteta over disciplinary issues prompting his departure to Barcelona.
Now he’s back in London, he is on the opposite side of the derby wearing blue. He’s looking forward to the change.
He told BT Sport : "Yes, definitely a very exciting game and also because they are doing well at the moment.
Yeah, before I was on the other side and of course I have some memories of a few games I played against Chelsea now it’s going to be so much different.
"But hopefully we can win this game and we play at home so I think it’s going to be really exciting and yeah, I’m looking forward to it.
It’s a big week coming and we will try to give everything to make the most of it. The first game is at home against Arsenal I think it’s going to be fun for sure."
James confident over World Cup
Reece James has been missing for Chelsea since suffering a knee injury against AC Milan last month.
The assumption of many was that the right-back would miss the World Cup, with an initial eight-week prognosis spelling bad news.
It seems that might not be the case. According to the Evening Standard, James is ahead of schedule in his rehabilitation programme and he will 'urge' Gareth Southgate to include him in his squad.
He’s even told friends that he is 'confident' he will be on the plane.
Southgate has a history of picking injured players for tournaments, so the World Cup dream is not over yet for the Chelsea defender.
Barca want Jorginho
Jorginho’s current contract is due to expire in June and that has sparked some concern in west London, with Barcelona ready to try and lure the midfielder to Spain.
Mirror Football understands that Barcelona are ready to offer around £22million plus add-ons for the Italy international in the January transfer window, with a two-and-a-half-year contract ready for him.
They can do that because Gerard Pique’s retirement is estimated to have saved them between £44m and £65m, which they now want to reinvest.
Jorginho’s agent recently insisted his client wanted to sign an extension with Chelsea, but Barcelona are unperturbed.
