Arsenal travel to Stamford Bridge for today’s Premier League derby against Chelsea.
The Gunners have been in poor form over the past few weeks and they have picked up just one point from their previous three league games.
Predicted Line-up:
David Raya has been exceptional between the sticks with stand-out saves. He will be hoping for a clean sheet in the upcoming London derby.
The defence should stay unchanged from the Nerazzurri loss. Ben White and Jurrien Timber are guaranteed to continue at right-back and left-back respectively.
William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes are nailed-on starters from the heart of the backline.
Mikel Merino had a tough opening half at San Siro where he also conceded a penalty. He was unlucky too, having been denied a penalty of his own.
Rice suffered a broken toe at Newcastle United. Arteta was unclear over his fitness, but we anticipate the Englishman to return in the centre of the park.
Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli are expected to continue on the right and left wing respectively.
Kai Havertz suffered a nasty cut on his head in midweek. The German should get the nod to lead the attack, provided he is deemed fit to make the game.
