Arsenal striker Dennis Bergkamp has warned his team-mates Chelsea are title contenders.
Claudio Ranieri's men had a midweek goalless draw at Birmingham City, but squeezed above Gunners to the top of the table, albeit on goal difference.
Ranieri continues to talk down his side's chances, given that he is still attempting to gel his squad after so many signings.
However, Bergkamp considers tomorrow's opponents at Highbury genuine contenders. "There is a lot of talent in every position and depth in the squad," he said. "If you have that, then you can challenge for the championship."
Arsenal managed to beat Chelsea 3-0 at Highbury last season in the Premiership, and also beat the Blues in the FA Cup.
The Gunners will be without Patrick Vieira as he serves his one-match ban for a red card in the controversial fixture at Old Trafford last month.
Ray Parlour's fitness must also be assessed, but it is Vieira whom Arsenal will miss, with Edu on standby to partner Gilberto Silva. Arsenal striker Dennis Bergkamp has warned his team-mates Chelsea are title contenders.
