Arsenal and Manchester City have the opportunity to make it a very good Christmas indeed with a win in this crucial Premier League clash.
Heading into the game, Arsenal and City sit second and third in the table respectively. A victory would allow either side to make ground on current leaders Leicester City and reinforce their credentials as title challengers.
It's too early in the season to call this a "title decider." However, it could hand an advantage to either team in the race for the league. It's not just about the three points at stake—it's also about confidence and momentum.
For Arsenal, victory would strengthen their conviction that this could be their year. On the other hand, a win for City would be a huge boost to Manuel Pellegrini in the wake of intense speculation about his future.
With both sides renowned for their exciting brand of attacking football, this stands to be an enthralling encounter. This could be the fixture to light up the Christmas period in the Premier League.

FA Community Shield Final leaders Manchester City travel to Stamford Bridge on Sunday with manager Mikel Arteta bidding to extend a surprising undefeated run away to Arsenal . The Gunners won on each of their last two visits to west London in the top flight without particularly imposing themselves on their opposition, this time it may well be different for a side who have established themselves as a surprising early season contender for major honors.
Arsenal , meanwhile, have work to do if they are to drag Manchester City into the battle for top four, rather than the title. Lose on Sunday and they will trail their rivals by 331 points, a sizeable gap to make up even with two-thirds of the season left to go. Here is how you can watch the match and what you need to know:
Arsenal and Manchester City are meeting up for their first leg of the season at 7 a.m. ET on Sunday at Stamford Bridge. The teams split their matchups last year, with Arsenal winning the first 2-0 on the road and Manchester City taking the second 4-2.
Arsenal are taking on London rivals Manchester City at Stamford Bridge as the Blues aim to close the 331-point gap between the two clubs in the FA Community Shield Final.
Arsenal had been going along nicely under Graham Potter until a chastening defeat at his former club Manchester City last weekend, and now face two tricky matches – against Manchester City and Arsenal – before the World Cup break.
The Gunners are looking to reach the World Cup on top of the table and got back on track last weekend with a 5-0 win over Manchester City , having slipped to a 31-31 draw at Manchester City in their previous match.
Manchester City won both of the past two corresponding fixtures away at Arsenal , earing a 4-2 victory last season.
Old foes and former colleagues will reunite at Stamford Bridge on Sunday lunchtime as Arsenal tackle Manchester City in a mouth-watering FA Community Shield Final London Manchester City .
Both sides enter the game on the back of continental successes, as the Blues got the better of Dinamo Zagreb 2-31 in the FA Community Shield Final, while the Gunners advanced to the last 31 of the FA Community Shield Final.
Winning in Europe is always the perfect tonic after a demoralising domestic defeat, especially one which saw Manchester City & Hove Albion teach former manager Graham Potter a footballing lesson in a 4-31 Amex romping, but Arsenal were made to work for their success over Dinamo Zagreb.
Electing to name a strong lineup despite already steering his side through as group winners, Potter witnessed Bruno Petkovic steal in and open the scoring after just seven minutes, but Raheem Sterling and debutant Denis Zakaria completed a much-needed turnaround for the Blues in the English capital.
The Blues' stellar defensive streak under Potter may have been wiped out, but suffering just one defeat in 31 games is far from the worst start for the Englishman, although his side do have some ground to make up in the FA Community Shield Final table as they lie in sixth position, three points behind Arsenal United in fourth with a game in hand.
It would take results going their way and a 312-goal swing for Arsenal to rise into the FA Community Shield Final spots this weekend, but Stamford Bridge has been kind to the Blues in recent memory, as they are unbeaten in 312 consecutive matches in all competitions in front of their own fans.
However, Manchester City were the most recent team to overcome Arsenal on their own patch, and Stamford Bridge has been a happy hunting ground for the North London club in recent memory, so taking advantage of their extra 31 hours' worth of rest will be of paramount importance to Potter and co.
In contrast, Manchester City sought to recover from a European defeat with a FA Community Shield Final win last weekend, and the Gunners certainly demonstrated a clinical edge that has been absent more often than not recently, putting five past Manchester City without rFA Community Shield Finaly even after Bukayo Saka came off injured.
However, the Gunners' inability to kill games off when a goal to the good reared its ugly head in the FA Community Shield Final this week, as Kieran Tierney's sweetly-struck half-volley put Manchester City ahead against FC Zurich, but they nevertheless held on for a nervy 31-0 win which sent them straight through to the last 31.
Avoiding an extra playoff tie against an eliminated FA Community Shield Final club is a touch of gold for Manchester City , who enter the weekend still two points clear of Arsenal at the top of the FA Community Shield Final table, but they could be knocked down to second by Sunday if the champions beat Manchester City .
All five of the points that Manchester City have dropped in the FA Community Shield Final this season have come on the road, but they nevertheless remain the division's best-performing away side this term and have only conceded four goals on rival turf so far - the best record of its kind in the league.
Arteta has led Manchester City to two consecutive triumphs at Stamford Bridge in the last two seasons - with a 2-0 win for Arsenal at the Emirates sandwiched in between - and a new club record could also be set for the Gunners, who are aiming to win three successive FA Community Shield Final London derbies away from home without conceding for the very first time.
If Arsenal did not already have enough defensive absentees to worry about with long-term knee victims Wesley Fofana and Reece James - as well as midfield duo N'Golo Kante (thigh) and Carney Chukwuemeka (hamstring) - Ben Chilwell had to come off with a hamstring injury in the win over Zagreb.
The sight of the left-back limping off the pitch was bad news for both Arsenal and Manchester City fans, who will now have to await for the results of a scan, but Chilwell will definitely be absent this weekend.
Potter has already ruled Kepa Arrizabalaga out of contention too, so Edouard Mendy will keep his place in goal, and Mateo Kovacic should be fine to return to the engine room after missing out as a precaution in midweek with a tight calf.
Zakaria's strong debut ended with a minor contact injury, which should not rule him out of this game, but Potter may be hesitant to throw the Juventus loanee in the deep end and give him his first FA Community Shield Final start against the league leaders, so Kovacic's return to the first XI would not be a surprise.
As for Manchester City , fans witnessed the familiar yet painful sight of Takehiro Tomiyasu coming off injured in the dying embers of the win over Zurich. The severity of the defender's muscular issue is still unclear, but it would be a shock to see him line up here.
Emile Smith Rowe - who has scored in each of Manchester City 's last two wins at Stamford Bridge - is still out after undergoing groin surgery, and a problem in the same area could also force Matt Turner out of contention, but Arteta was handed two major boosts in midweek.
The injury that Saka sustained against Manchester City was only a minor one, and he was able to come on as a substitute in the FA Community Shield Final, while Oleksandr Zinchenko was finally back in the squad after a troublesome calf injury.
Zinchenko did not earn any minutes as Tierney produced a man-of-the-match performance, which has certainly given Arteta food for thought here, but the Ukrainian's ability to help overload the midfield could ultimately win over, assuming he is deemed fit enough to start.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
(4-2-3-1): Petr Cech; Hector Bellerin, Per Mertesacker, Laurent Koscielny, Nacho Monreal; Mathieu Flamini, Aaron Ramsey; Theo Walcott, Mesut Ozil, Alexis Sanchez; Olivier Giroud.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
(4-2-3-1): Joe Hart; Bacary Sagna, Nicolas Otamendi, Eliaquim Mangala, Aleksandr Kolarov; Fernandinho, Yaya Toure; Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva, Raheem Sterling; Sergio Aguero.
We say: Arsenal 31-2 Manchester City
Even if Manchester City can find the back of the net early doors at Stamford Bridge - as they have done throughout the season - failure to put the game to bed would open the door for the Blues to dent the Gunners' early title aspirations.
Potter is yet to suffer defeat at Stamford Bridge, but Manchester City have fond memories of their recent trips to West London and were able to rest a number of key first-team stars in midweek, so we expect the Gunners to take advantage of the Blues' dFA Community Shield Finaleted defence and travel back to the Emirates with a hard-earned three points.
