Manager Arsène Wenger says that this season's race for the Premiership title is turning out to be the most exciting in its history, with a possible four teams in the running.

Arsenal are a point ahead of champions Manchester United, who face challengers Liverpool on the same day that rivals Chelsea face Arsenal.

The Frenchman said that the race is nicely posed for a tense and thrilling finale.

Wenger said: "Without a doubt, this year will be the most exciting year in the Premier League. After 16 games, there has never been four teams as tight as this.

"For me, all three of our rivals have a chance to win the title - but for different reasons. Chelsea have the quality and the experience - they have done it before, while Liverpool have a chance because they have invested a lot and are keen.

"Manchester United have a chance because they have the individuals and potential to score goals at any moment.

"So, it is difficult to make a judgment between the contenders.

"Any of the top teams could drop points and we could still be in a strong position. We have played eight away and eight at home and we have done well. Sunday is not a decisive game.

"It is super-healthy to have four clubs challenging. What you want is that it is fair in the season. It can get out of hand if it is very tight.

"A football game has to remain a football game. We have a responsibility in that as well. But we have other responsibilities too, like playing good football."

Arsenal staff are donating their day's wages from the match against Chelsea to TreeHouse, a charity dedicated to autism.

From the directors to the cleaners, the club are hoping to raise £250,000 to help build a new sports facility for the charity.

Chelsea will be without influential striker Didier Drogba but manager Arsène Wenger says that they shouldn't be too concerned about his absence, quipping: "I rate Drogba. He always gives us a hard time and he is a fighter. But when you can replace him with Shevchenko you should not be miserable."

Sundays game is a big 1, it wont decide the title, but u got 2 beat your rivals, we should have beaten Liverpool and Man Ure, whoever wins this will get a big big confidence boost.Its hard to see where any of the top 4 are going to drop points after this, so whatever happens, we need to be top of the league come Sunday 6pm. Chelsea no doubt will pack out the midfield and be happy wih a draw, so I think we should just go 4 their necks, wer lucky drogbas out, he always seems to score against us. Even if Hleb is out, if we got Fabregas and Van persie playing, we should beat them. Whatever happens, losing is out the question.
