8 changes, £46m striker | Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-3-3) vs Chelsea with Merino & Sterling decisions made
Arsenal will be aiming to return to winning ways against Chelsea in the Premier League today.
The Gunners are winless in the last three league games, picking up just two points.
The club are 15 points behind leaders Liverpool but have a match in hand against the Blues.
Arsenal are unbeaten in the last six meetings with the Blues. Manager Mikel Arteta will be eyeing a victory at the Emirates Stadium.
Arteta could make up to eight changes from the 2-2 draw against PSV in the Champions League.
Formation: 4-3-3
Predicted Line-up:
David Raya has been ever-present in goal and will be eyeing his 11th clean sheet of the top-flight campaign. The Spaniard was exceptional against Manchester United on the road last weekend with three world-class saves.
The backline could see three changes from midweek. Ben White is expected to be replaced by Jurrien Timber at right-back. William Saliba is set to partner Gabriel Magalhaes in central defence, with Jakub Kiwior dropping to the bench.
At left-back, we anticipate a straight swap with Riccardo Calafiori replacing Myles Lewis-Skelly.
Thomas Partey should feature as the holding midfielder ahead of Jorginho. Oleksandr Zinchenko will make way for captain Martin Odegaard to partner Declan Rice in the central attacking midfield positions.
In the final third, there could be a complete overhaul. Leandro Trossard and Ethan Nwaneri are poised to return on the left and right wing to replace Kieran Tierney and Raheem Sterling respectively.
Sterling was the man of the match with a couple of assists against PSV, but he is ineligible to face his parent club. We prefer Gabriel Martinelli over Mikel Merino as the main centre-forward.
Martinelli has a good record as a striker, scoring nine goals in 16 outings in his Arsenal career. His pace and dribbling skills would present a bigger headache for the Blues backline than Merino.
The £46 million-rated star has scored twice versus Chelsea from nine appearances.
