Arsenal vs Chelsea LIVE: Get the latest team news and line-ups for the Premier League clash as Cole Palmer’s availability remains uncertain for the London derby.

 

Chelsea faces the risk of suffering consecutive away defeats against Arsenal in the Premier League, a feat they haven’t experienced since their three consecutive losses at Highbury between 2001 and 2003.

 

While Arsenal appears to be the more composed team, Chelsea has showcased their ability to secure remarkable victories this season. Their performance in this match could potentially have a significant impact on the title race.

 

Arsenal and Chelsea are gearing up for their upcoming match, and both teams have received some team news updates. Arsenal has been relatively fortunate in terms of injuries, with only Jurrien Timber expected to be unavailable due to a serious knee injury he sustained in August.

 

On the other hand, Chelsea has been dealt a blow as Cole Palmer may not be able to play against Mikel Arteta’s side. While Christopher Nkunku is nearing a return, the game against Arsenal might come too soon for him. However, Robert Sanchez and Levi Colwill are close to full fitness.

 

Unfortunately, Reece James, Lesley Ugochukwu, Wesley Fofana, and Romeo Lavia remain on the long-term injury list for Chelsea. As Arsenal aims to finish above Chelsea for the second consecutive year, the question remains whether the Blues can make an impact in the title race.

 

Arsenal and Chelsea are set to clash in a midweek London derby in the Premier League tonight. The Gunners have the opportunity to extend their lead over Manchester City to four points in the league standings, but Mauricio Pochettino’s Blues will be determined to thwart their plans and make a statement in the title race.

 

Chelsea have lifted the Premier League trophy five times since Arsenal’s last triumph 20 years ago. However, Mikel Arteta’s team is on track to finish above the Blues for the second consecutive season and could compound Chelsea’s woes with a victory tonight. Despite dominating in the FA Cup semi-finals against Manchester City, Chelsea fell short due to missed opportunities.

 

Chelsea may have to cope without their star striker and the Premier League’s leading goal scorer, Cole Palmer, in tonight’s match. Meanwhile, Arsenal will aim to capitalize on their recent victory over Wolves. Following consecutive losses to Aston Villa and Bayern Munich, Arteta’s side is eager to bounce back and secure a crucial win to keep the pressure on reigning champions Manchester City.

 

Arsenal concludes a challenging week in a favorable position in the Premier League title race. They find themselves at the top of the table, potentially four points ahead of Manchester City.

 

The outcome of the past seven days may impact their chances in both the Premier League and Champions League, but the recent victory at Molineux was crucial. This win, although not the most impressive, demonstrates the resilience of Arsenal under Mikel Arteta’s leadership.

 

Despite potential setbacks, Arsenal’s performance shows they are not in a state of crisis. Additionally, Arsenal’s success has been aided by former Chelsea players, further solidifying their status as London’s top team.

 

Arsenal’s starting lineup for the upcoming match consists of Raya in goal, with White, Saliba, Gabriel, and Zinchenko forming the defensive line. In midfield, Odegaard, Jorginho, and Rice will be controlling the game.

 

Up front, Saka, Havertz, and Martinelli will be leading the attack. Unfortunately, Timber is currently injured with a knee problem. There are also doubts surrounding Tomiyasu due to a knock.

 

The rest of the Arsenal squad includes Ramsdale, Hein, Gabriel, Cedric, Kiwior, Saliba, Tomiyasu, White, Zinchenko, Elneny, Havertz, Jorginho, Odegaard, Partey, Rice, Smith Rowe, Vieira, Jesus, Martinelli, Nelson, Nketiah, Saka, and Trossard.
