Calafiori and Martinelli are set to start: Predicted Arsenal XI against Chelsea.

Arsenal has convincingly won their last two matches against Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich, and they aim to maintain their momentum towards the Premier League title as they take on another London rival.

Mikel Arteta’s soaring Gunners will visit Stamford Bridge at 16:30 local time to challenge Chelsea, who are coming off a resounding 3-0 victory over Barcelona in the Champions League midweek, suggesting a closely contested match.

Here’s a look at how the visitors might line up for the match.

Goalkeeper – David Raya has been solid in goal for Arsenal, with the exception of his positioning during Richarlison’s goal in the Tottenham Hotspur match, so he is likely to remain in goal against Chelsea.

Defenders – With Gabriel Magalhaes still sidelined due to injury, Cristhian Mosquera may be favored in central defense again, with William Saliba likely to partner him.

Jurrien Timber is expected to continue at right back, while the only defensive change could see Riccardo Calafiori take over from Myles Lewis-Skelly on the left side.

Martinelli is anticipated to play on the left flank.

Midfielders – Declan Rice stated last week that he is in the best form of his career and will aim to contribute to Arsenal’s efforts against Chelsea. He is expected to play in midfield alongside Martin Zubimendi. Last weekend’s hat-trick hero, Eberechi Eze, may also feature as the team’s attacking midfielder.

Bukayo Saka is likely to be the preferred choice for the Gunners on the right flank, while Leandro Trossard’s injury could finally allow Gabriel Martinelli, who is in excellent form, to start on the left flank.
