Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta may recall three players when his team hosts Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday. If successful, the Gunners will move three points clear of Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table. This match will be their sixth in 21 days, so the starting line-up could see some changes.
Express Sport will run through the potential team that Arteta could go with. Spain goalkeeper David Raya has solidified his position as Arsenal’s No. 1 shot-stopper this season, securing his 13th Premier League clean sheet in their recent win over Wolves. He is expected to play a crucial role as Arsenal push for their first league title since 2004.
In defense, Oleksandr Zinchenko could return to the side at left-back, while the center of defense is likely to remain consistent with Gabriel and William Saliba starting. Ben White is expected to occupy the right-back position. They will face the challenge of containing Chelsea’s attacking threats and creating opportunities for their team. The midfield could see the return of Jorginho, while Kai Havertz may move further forward to lead the frontline, potentially displacing Gabriel Jesus.
Bukayo Saka will aim to get back among the goals, and Gabriel Martinelli could line up on the left flank after a strong performance in their previous match against Sheffield United. These potential changes could impact the outcome of the game and the dynamics of the team’s play in their pursuit of the league title.
