Team News

Chelsea
Arsenal
  • Chelsea's list of absentees continues to get no smaller, but captain Reece James is now edging closer to a full return.
  • Axel Disasi is a minor doubt here, but should be available to start alongside Thiago Silva in the centre of defence.
  • Jurrien Timber remains a long-term absentee for the Gunners, while Leandro Trossard looks set to miss this one, having come off against Manchester City with an injury two weeks ago.
  • Bukayo Saka and William Saliba did not play a part for their respective national teams over the break, but will be assessed prior to this one, and should get the nod to start.

Prediction

  • Mauricio Pochettino's Chelsea have now won each of their last three matches in all competitions.
  • The Blues were comfortable 4-1 victors at Burnley last time out, and will hope to bring confidence into Saturday's clash.
  • Arsenal remain unbeaten, and currently sit level on points with leaders Tottenham, after the crucial victory against Manchester City two weeks ago.
  • The Gunners have won each of the last three Premier League meetings between the two sides, and haven't lost at Stamford Bridge since 2018.
  • In this fixture last season, Mikel Arteta's side took home all three points after Gabriel Magalhaes' second half finish.
