Chelsea defender Ben Chilwell will undergo a scan on Friday afternoon to determine the extent of his hamstring injury and the length of his likely spell on the sidelines.

Graham Potter does not expect keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga (plantar fascia) to be available until after the World Cup, while Carney Chukwuemeka is ruled out with a hamstring issue.

There is some good news for the Blues, however, as midfielder Mateo Kovacic looks set to return to Potter’s squad after missing out on their midweek Champions League clash with Dinamo Zagreb with a calf issue.

Arsenal will assess the fitness of Japan defender Takehiro Tomiyasu after he limped off during Thursday’s Europa League win over FC Zurich.

Bukayo Saka could start having come off the bench against the Swiss, while Oleksandr Zinchenko is in contention following a calf complaint.

Emile Smith Rowe and Matt Turner (both groin) miss out while the likes of William Saliba, Granit Xhaka, Gabriel Martinelli and Thomas Partey should all return.


TALKING POINTS

– Chelsea have lost three of their last four Premier League games against Arsenal (W1), more than they had in their previous 17 against the Gunners (W9 D6 L2).

– Arsenal have won their last two Premier League away games against Chelsea, as many as in their previous 16 visits. They’ve not won three in a row at Stamford Bridge since April 1974.

– Each of Arsenal’s last six Premier League goals against Chelsea have been scored by English players, with Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe and Eddie Nketiah each netting twice. Just six of the Gunners’ previous 54 league strikes (excl. own goals) against the Blues between 1999 and 2020 were scored by Englishmen.

– Arsenal have won their last four Premier League London derbies, last winning more consecutively between April and October 2013 (5). They’ve won both such away games without conceding so far this season – they’ve never won three in a row while keeping a clean sheet each time before.

– Chelsea lost 4-1 against Brighton last time out, last losing consecutive league games in December 2020 under Frank Lampard. However, at home the Blues are unbeaten in nine league games (W5 D4) since a 4-2 loss to Arsenal in April.
