🗞️ Team News: Arsenal

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just the lone fitness concern for the Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta to be concerned about from an otherwise complete squad. Jurrien Timber (Cruciate ligament tear) misses out.

📰 Team News: Chelsea

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Axel Disasi (unknown injury), Enzo Fernández (unknown injury), Levi Colwill (Toe injury), Reece James (surgery), Christopher Nkunku (Hamstring injury), Lesley Ugochukwu (Hamstring injury), Wesley Fofana (Cruciate ligament tear) and Roméo Lavia (Hamstring injury) are not able to play.

✨ Prediction

In our view, Arsenal will most probably dominate on the ball and be rewarded with decent chances.

At the other end, Chelsea may well struggle to find the back of the net although we do see them getting the chances to score, too.

We’re therefore anticipating a controlled 3-1 winning margin for Arsenal at the end of the match.
