Chelsea's next five Premier League fixtures compared to Man City and Newcastle after Arsenal

Chelsea left North London empty-handed as they were beaten in their Premier League clash against Arsenal.

The Blues lost 1-0 to the Gunners in their final match before the March international break. Mikel Merino scored the only goal of the game at the Emirates Stadium to hand Chelsea a narrow defeat to their London rivals.

Enzo Maresca's side now go into the international break fourth in the Premier League table and are not back in action for more than two weeks. Chelsea have just nine top-flight matches left to play this season and will also have a UEFA Conference League quarter-final against Legia Warsaw to prepare for next month.
