Arsenal will have the chance to end their three-game winless streak in the ongoing English Premier League season when they square off against Chelsea on Sunday in their next outing.
The Mikel Arteta-led Gunners will be going into the high-profile contest after their disappointing 1-0 loss to Newcastle United in their previous Premier League game, and they will be looking for a crucial victory over Chelsea in a bid to return to winning ways.
Team News:
Arsenal will head into their Sunday clash with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge with some mixed injury updates following midweek action. The Gunners are boosted by the return of Martin Ødegaard, who made his long-awaited comeback from an ankle injury as a late substitute against Inter Milan. Mikel Arteta will likely have no hesitation in reintroducing the Norwegian playmaker into the starting lineup, especially given his side's ongoing struggles for creativity in recent matches.
However, there are concerns regarding Kai Havertz, who faces a fitness check after a worrying clash of heads with Inter's Yann Bisseck on Wednesday. The former Chelsea man will be assessed in the lead-up to the game, with his availability for the match still uncertain.
Arsenal will still be without defenders Riccardo Calafiori (knee) and Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee), while Kieran Tierney's hamstring issue is expected to keep him sidelined until after the international break. Additionally, Raheem Sterling is ineligible to feature for Chelsea due to the terms of his loan agreement from Manchester City.
Arsenal possible starting lineup vs Chelsea:
Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber; Odegaard, Jorginho, Partey; Saka, Jesus, Martinelli.
Kickoff Time:
The match will commence at exactly 5:30 PM (Nigerian Time).
