Title boost the target in milestone match

Arsene Wenger will hope to mark his 1,000th match as Arsenal manager by eating into Chelsea's four-point lead atop the Premier League when the London rivals collide on Saturday.

It's been nine years since Wenger last lifted a trophy, but Arsenal's 1-0 win at Tottenham Hotspur last weekend took it to within four points of Chelsea, which slumped to a 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa a day earlier.

Arsenal also has a game in hand on Jose Mourinho's side, so a victory at Stamford Bridge would give it the upper hand on its crosstown foes as the title race enters the home stretch.
