Premier League fans are being treated to a double-blast of action this week, with two rounds of fixtures in the space of just five days.

Tuesday night hosted a vital title clash between Chelsea and Liverpool, a 1-1 draw at Anfield, and in a huge week for the Premier League pace-setters, they now face third-placed London rivals Arsenal at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

Chelsea may be nine points ahead at the moment but on paper, there’s very little to choose between the Blues and the Gunners, especially after Arsene Wenger boosted the depth – if not the quality – of his squad with a spate of signings last summer.

With that in mind, we asked Arsenal fans a curious question earlier this week; which Chelsea stars would they like to see join the ranks at the Emirates Stadium? Well, the votes from our poll have been counted and Football FanCast can now exclusively reveal the top three Chelsea stars Arsenal fans would sign.

3. Diego Costa

Arsenal certainly aren’t struggling for goals this season and one would assume they’re not too fond of Diego Costa – especially following the Gabriel Paulista debacle last season. Nonetheless, Gunners fans clearly respect the Spain international’s quality and rightly so; he’s the Premier League’s joint-top scorer with 15 goals in 21 appearances – alongside a further five assists. Perhaps more importantly, the 28-year-old epitomises the aggression and physicality Arsene Wenger’s sides are often accused of fatally lacking.

2. N’Golo Kante

N’Golo Kante is on course to record a very special feat; becoming the first player to win back-to-back Premier League titles with two Premier League clubs. That’s a testament to how talented the Frenchman is, and at this point few would view his status as the best play-breaker in the top flight, incredibly high in Premier League rankings for both goals and assists this term. Add in a bit of box-to-box energy and Kante is another player who represents what the Gunners are often perceived as short of – although Francis Coquelin might have a few things to say about that.

1. Eden Hazard

Seen by many as the most talented player in the Premier League, pretty much every set of fans would love to see their club get their hands on Eden Hazard. Whether the Belgium international has produced the same level of form as in 2014/15, when Chelsea last won the title, remains open to debate but he’s produced brilliance more often than not this term, chipping in with nine goals and three assists whilst averaging two created chances and 4.1 successful dribbles per match. He, Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil would form the perfect attacking midfield triplet, but such a scenario, unfortunately, seems unlikely to ever become a reality.
