Team News

Kepa Arrizabalaga will miss the London Derby as he got injured against Brighton

Ben Chilwell had to leave the game against Zagreb due to a hamstring injury, adding to Chelsea’s defensive absences from long-term knee injuries Wesley Fofana and Reece James, as well as midfielders N’Golo Kante (thigh) and Carney Chukwuemeka (hamstring).

Chilwell won’t be present this weekend, though Chelsea and England supporters will have to wait for the findings of a scan after seeing the left-back hobbling off the field.

Edouard Mendy will continue to play in goal, and Mateo Kovacic, who missed the midweek match as a precaution due to a tight calf, should be okay to return to the engine room. Potter has already ruled Kepa Arrizabalaga out of contention.

As for Arsenal, fans saw the painful yet recognizable sight of Takehiro Tomiyasu leaving the game with an injury in the closing seconds of the victory over Zurich. Although it’s unclear how serious the defender’s muscular problem is, it would be surprising to see him start this game.

Oleksandr Zinchenko was finally back in the lineup after a problematic calf injury, and Saka was able to play in the Europa League after only suffering a minor injury against Nottingham Forest.

Tierney‘s man-of-the-match performance prevented Zinchenko from playing, which has given Arteta some food for thought. However, if Zinchenko is considered healthy enough to start, his potential to assist overload the midfield may eventually win out.


Chelsea possible starting lineup;

Mendy, Chalobah, Silva, Koulibaly, Loftus-Cheek, Jorginho, Kovacic, Cucurella, Mount, Aubameyang, Sterling

Arsenal possible starting lineup;

Ramsdale, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Xhaka, Partey, Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli, Jesus

Chelsea vs Arsenal Prediction

We say: Chelsea 1-2 Arsenal
