Fernando Torres has revealed that he is confident that Chelsea can beat Arsenal in the Premier League on Monday.

The Blues travel to the Emirates Stadium knowing that a victory will move them level on points with leaders Liverpool heading into a busy Christmas schedule.

"We know how important it is for us," he told the club's official website.

"It's a chance to overtake them in the table and we know how important that is for the fans. We're playing Arsenal, and it's a huge game for both sets of fans.

"We've beaten them once this season in the Capital One Cup at the Emirates, so we know what we need to do to win there. We just have to ensure we prepare for the game the best we can, and I'm sure we can go and do it."

Chelsea have won four of their last five matches in the Premier League.
