Chelsea will face off against rival Arsenal on Saturday, placing two of the English Premier League's closely followed teams against each other.

Chelsea, coming out of a 1-0 loss to Aston Villa, is expected to be the underdog in the match.

Chelsea Manager José Mourinho said Arsenal stuck by Arsène Wenger in all the bad moments, The Guardian reports.

"I admire him and I admire Arsenal, because it's not possible to have 1,000 matches unless the club is also a fantastic club in the way they support the manager, especially in the bad moments and especially when the bad moments were quite a lot," Mourinho said, according to the site.

"The tribute is to say that I believe that any one of us would love to have the same privilege [of getting to 1,000 games] with our clubs."

Arsenal, coming out of a 1-0 win over the Tottenham Hotspurs, is expected to be the favorite in the match.

Arsenal Manager Arsène Wenger can take his team into a new golden era, former team chairman Peter Hill-Wood said, according to The Telegraph.

"He doesn't think his job is finished yet," Hill-Wood said, according to the site. 

"I don't think his enthusiasm has diminished at all. I don't see him suddenly deserting and starting again at some other club."
