Artete made wholesale changes for Wednesday on the second leg against PSVWith Oleksandra Zinchenko and Raheem Sterling, impressing rare starts. Sterling, however, cannot appear against his home club this weekend.
Gabriel Martinelli could start his first start in more than a month, while Martin Odegaard and Thomas Party are expected to return to Arsenal’s environment. Jurrien Timber should return to Gunners background after enjoying a break in the middle of the week.
Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka and Takehiro Tomiyas are left without action.
Arsenal predicted the VS Chelsea setup (4-3-3): Raya; Wood, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Party, Rice, Odegaard; Nwaneri, Merino, Martinelli.
Chelsea has recently been encouraged by the return of Wesley Fofan from an injury, and is expected that French partner Levi Colwill, who did not appear in the Emirates on Thursday.
Cole Palmer, Marc Cucurella, Robert Sanchez and Reece James are ready to return to Maresca.
The blues are still without Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke, and Pedro Net is likely to run the visitors’ line again. Christopher nkinka is an alternative. David Datro Fofana, Marc Gui and a little dense are likely to miss.
Chelsea predicted a setup against Arsenal (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; James, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Palmer, Nkunk, Sancho; Net.
Arthte and Maresca rotated in the middle of the week, so both launch of XI should be quite fresh. While Arsenal continues to fight for goals in the country, they face that Chelsea with a bad recent record in this knot.
Gunneri have an alternative attacked option in Martinelli, and although the Blues won four on a bounce, fans are fighting with Maresc and his rather secular style. Since Palmer is singled out and Jackson aside, visitors are unlikely to do too much damage, but Arsenal’s last third trouble mean hitting – like last year 5-0 – shouldn’t come.
A competitive and tight affair in the Emirates could be directed by the host.
Prediction: Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea
