Should the Blues win they will be 13 points clear of the Gunners, who will have their remaining title hopes crushed.
Ballack said: “We are on top of the league and they are 10 points behind us and need to win.
“At the moment they are not the strongest team because they have other problems now.
“It is our intention to beat them. A 13-point gap is a lot and we hope we can do this. It will be hard for them.
“Everyone at Chelsea is very focused on this title because we want to have it back at Stamford Bridge.
“Everybody is hungry and you can feel it in training.”
