SUPER Eagle and Chelsea wing-back Victor Moses sees their clash with Arsenal as decisive in the title race.
Moses has started every Premier League game since the corresponding fixture earlier in the season and he explains why today's encounter, from a Chelsea perspective, is so important.
"Obviously we have the opportunity to increase our lead over them so it's a massive game for us," he told chelseafc.com.
"Arsenal are a good side but we're playing at home and hopefully we can use that to our advantage. We've already played Liverpool this week, now we face Arsenal and we still have a lot of tough games to come. We will be giving 100 per cent to make sure we win the match.
"They will be desperate to win after losing at home to Watford during the week, but we lost 3-0 to them away earlier in the season so we want to make up for that result ourselves. I think it will be an exciting game"
Meanwhile, the Nigerian said Branislav Ivanovic is one of the best.
The Blues bid farewell to Ivanovic who joined Russian side Zenit St Petersburg on Wednesday, and Moses was eager to wish his former team-mate well for the next chapter in his career.
"He’s been tremendous, one of the best right-backs in the world," says Moses.
"He was absolutely outstanding for us and he’s a club legend. We have to respect him for what he achieved and we wish him all the best at his new club. I’m sure he will always have Chelsea in his heart."
