Chelsea forward Eden Hazard has insisted that the team will try their best to make amends for the loss to Aston Villa last weekend by winning against Arsenal at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
Jose Mourinho's men are currently leading the Premier League table with 66 points, four points clear of the Gunners, placed third.

Even though the loss against Aston Villa last weekend was a huge blow for the team as well as their fans, Hazard feels that they have enough experience to turn things around in their favour.
"The game against Arsenal comes at an important moment because it follows a league defeat", the 23-year-old told his club's official site.

"We are going to do our best in front of our own supporters in what is a big derby game. There is no better one to win."
The Pensioners received a further boost in their attempt to make it a fruitful season by winning their Champions League Round of 16 tie against Turkish side Galatasaray on Tuesday, winning the match 2-0 and thus sealing the tie with a 3-1 aggregate score.
The Belgian admits that the Champions League and Premier League are two different ball games, but feels that there is an equal urge to perform well in each one of them.
"The Champions League and the Premier League are both magnificent competitions.
"The Champions League is rare because you play less often, but the Premier League is so important to us and we know how important it is for the fans too", Hazard added.
The young Belgian has been impressive for his club this season, having scored 13 goals in 30 Premier League matches and has also provided his team-mates with seven equally important assists.
