Arsenal will face Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, looking to achieve their fourth consecutive home league win and respond to Manchester City‘s victory on Saturday.
The Gunners are entering the final part of the season at the top of the table, though their lead has decreased to two points after City’s 1–0 win against Leeds. Manager Mikel Arteta recently guided the team to a solid 4–1 win against Tottenham, and they aim to continue their strong performance in the capital. Arsenal has had strong results against Chelsea, losing only once in their last 15 encounters across all competitions, which includes two wins in the League Cup semi-finals this year.
Arsenal Team News
Mikel Arteta’s squad is mostly fit at a crucial time, with no new injury concerns following the North London derby. Bukayo Saka is expected to play despite a minor ankle issue from the Spurs match. He will likely start on the wing, while Viktor Gyökeres, who has eight goals in his last 12 matches, will lead the attack. Eberechi Eze has consistently performed well in London matches, scoring all six of his league goals in these fixtures.
David Raya is set to be in goal, supported by a defense likely to include William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães. Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi will control the midfield, with Martin Ødegaard potentially returning to the starting lineup after playing as a substitute last weekend. Leandro Trossard and Bukayo Saka will add width, assisting the in-form Gyökeres. Arsenal needs to address the fact that 44% of their goals conceded this year came from mistakes, especially against a sharp Chelsea attack.
