Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will be sitting among Chelsea supporters during the London derby at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

Wenger was handed a four-game touchline ban by the Football Association for pushing fourth official Anthony Taylor during the match against Burnley last month.

This will be the third game of his suspension, but he will not watch the match from the directors’ box as it is on the other side of the ground.

Wenger is permitted to give a team talk before the game and at half-time, as well as having to fulfil media obligations, but it will be too difficult for him to do if sat in the West Stand.

Negotiations between the two clubs have been taking place over the past few days to come to a resolution and Wenger will be sat in the middle tier of the East Stand, which is the side of the ground where the dressing rooms are situated.

It is believed Chelsea have already been putting arrangements in place for stewarding to escort the Arsenal manager to and from his seat.

The Gunners will also be bringing their own security personnel to ensure everything goes smoothly. They will sit around him during the match to act as a precautionary buffer from the home fans.

Meanwhile, the Blues have been handed cause for concern ahead of the title run-in with the news that Eden Hazard has joined David Luiz in picking up an injury.

Luiz has been playing through the pain barrier with a knee problem for the past two months and Standard Sport understands that Belgium international Hazard suffered a knock against Leicester last month that has been affecting his performances.

Hazard was substituted with 11 minutes remaining in that 3-0 victory and he has come off early in the following two matches, against Hull and Liverpool.

The forward was seen pointing to his hamstring as he walked down the tunnel at Anfield on Tuesday night but did not appear to be limping when he boarded the team bus after the 1-1 draw.

The 26-year-old, who has not scored in his last five appearances, trained with the rest of the first-team squad as normal yesterday and is in contention to face Arsenal.
