Team News

Chelsea
Arsenal
  • Enzo Maresca will hope to have Cole Palmer available for selection with the England international a doubt for the home side.
  • Jadon Sancho will also be assessed, but Omari Kellyman misses out.
  • Raheem Sterling is ineligible to face his parent club, so misses out for Arsenal.
  • Kieran Tierney, Riccardo Calafiori and Takehiro Tomiyasu are injured, while Kai Havertz, Declan Rice and Mikel Merino are doubts.
  • Martin Odegaard returned from injury late on against Inter in midweek and is in line for his first Arsenal start since August.

Prediction

  • Chelsea responded to a two-game winless run with a resounding 8-0 win over FC Noah in the Conference League on Thursday night. The Blues don't have a great home record against Arsenal having lost three and drawn two of the last five league games between the pair at Stamford Bridge.
  • Arsenal, though, have been poor in recent weeks having won only two of their last six in all competitions. The Gunners' only away win in their last six on the road came at lower league opposition Preston.
  • Chelsea's home record in the Premier League this season isn't great, even if they are unbeaten in four at Stamford Bridge. The return of Martin Odegaard is a huge boost for Arsenal, and that may just help Mikel Arteta's side to a result on Sunday.
