PRVWMaresca and Arteta, both former Pep Guardiola's assistants, hug ahead of kick off!
-
PRVWThe players are out of the tunnel!!! It is almost time!!!
-
PRVWHalf an hour to go! Michael Olive is the referee, whilsts Paul Tierney is over at VAR. Who's readyyyyyyyyy???!!
-
PRVWThe two rivals are fully geared up for the clash, with less than one hour to go until kick off!! who's taking the win? Chelsea? Arsenal? or neither?
-
PRVWSo it is confirmed. Martin Odegaard makes his return in the starting lineup after 2 months on the sidelined due to injury. Declan Rice and Havertaz also return despite initial fitness concerns. Palmer is back for the Blues, as it looks like the forward has shaken off the knock.
-
PRVWHere's how Arsenal could line up (4-3-3): Raya (GK); Timber, Gabriel, Saliba, White; Partey, Rice, Odegaard; Martinelli, Havertz, Saka.

PRVWHere's how Arsenal could line up (4-3-3): Raya (GK); Timber, Gabriel, Saliba, White; Partey, Merino, Odegaard; Martinelli, Havertz, Saka.

PRVWHere's how Chelsea could line up (4-2-3-1): Sanchez (GK); Gusto, Fofana, Colwill, James; Caicedo, Lavia; Madueke, Palmer, Neto; Jackson.
-
PRVWWith all that settled, lets have a look at the possible lineups!!!!
-
PRVWKieran Tierney, Riccardo Calafiori and Takehiro Tomiyasu are all 100% out due to injuries. Raheem Sterling will also be forced to sit out the clash as he is on loan from Chelsea and therefore unable to play against them.
-
PRVW“We will have to wait to see how they react,” said Arteta. “Kai had a nasty cut and he could not continue so we had to take him off. With Mikel he wasn’t feeling great since the day before so we decided to sub him at half time.”
-
PRVWKai Havertz and Mikel Merino are also doubts. The former Chelsea man suffered a blow to the head against Inter and needed stitches, whilst Merino was taken off at half-time, with Arteta later explaining that he had not been feeling well in the build-up to the game.
-
PRVWFitness concerns are also a major talking point for Arsenal. Declan Rice is in a race against time to recover from a broken toe suffered in last weekend’s 1-0 defeat at Newcastle. Martin Odegaard is also pushing to start against Chelsea after making his comeback off the bench against Inter Milan.
-
PRVWThe hosts could see themselves without their main-man Cole Palmer, as his availability remains uncertain. The Englishman, who currently leads the Premier League with 12 G/A, picked up a knock in the match against Man United. Jadon Sancho also remains a doubt for the Blues, with the winger still nursing an injury which has kept away from the pitch for Chelsea's last five games.

PRVWLets have a look at the teams' fitness concerns before we go ahead with the possible lineups....
-
PRVWMaresca also took the opportunity to praise his opponents. "For me they are the closest one with (Manchester) City," he admitted. "Both, I consider them better than the rest."
-
PRVWMaresca is also feeling his side's chances as he insisted Chelsea "can compete and can win against any team" as he spoke ahead of the game. "For sure we have the right feeling that we're going in the right direction and hopefully Sunday we can give our fans a good day," the Italian added.
-
PRVWNevertheless Arteta is confident Arsenal are ready to rebound after their troubled spell. "They are paying attention, they are hungry, they want to work. Their desire is unbelievable. They are a joy to work with," said the Spaniard during his pre-Chelsea press conference on Saturday.
-
PRVWThe two teams recent form could not be more different ahead of the crunch. Arsenal suffered a frustrating 1-0 defeat against Inter Milan midweek in the Champions League, meamwhile Chelsea ran riot in the Conference League as they put eight past Noah FC.
-
PRVWThe two sides head into the game level on points (18) in the Premier League, though Maresca's men sit ahead in 5th thanks to a better goal difference. Who will come out on top after the match?
-
PRVWLast time out, Arsenal thrashed Chelsea in a 5-0 goal fest. But will history repeat itself for this afternoon's clash as well?
-
PRVWChelsea are winless against Arsenal in over three years - since August 2021 - but their record at home is even worse. The Blues have not been able to beat their London rivals in over six years
-
PRVWBig Super Sunday clash as Enzo Maresca and Mikel Arteta face for the first time ever, as the Italian will look to end the Blues dire record against the Gunners in recent seasons.
