🚨 No Palmer! Arsenal & Chelsea name their starting XIs
Arsenal host Chelsea in the Sunday lunchtime kickoff, in what looks set to be a fascinating battle in the Premier League.
The Blues sit six points behind Mikel Arteta's side, but could halve that gap with a win today.
Arsenal are still battling their well-documented injury pile up, with Gabriel Jesus, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Bukayo Saka, and Kai Havertz all sidelined.
Here's how they line up.
Arsenal: Raya, Timber, Lewis-Skelly, Saliba, Gabriel, Partey, Odegaard, Rice, Martinelli, Merino, Trossard.
Meanwhile Chelsea also have their fair share of players on the treatment table, with Roméo Lavia, Nicolas Jackson, Marc Guiu, and Noni Madueke ruled out and star man Cole Palmer has failed to make the squad through illness.
Here's how Enzo Maresca has picked his side.
