-----------------------------
Arsenal and Chelsea face off in an exciting London derby at the Emirates, with Chelsea aiming to close the gap to three points behind Arsenal in the standings. However, both teams have struggled to shine offensively.
Team Analysis:
Arsenal's recent match saw controversy over their defensive wall's positioning during Bruno Fernandes' free kick, while David Raya also faced criticism. Despite a lackluster attack, Arsenal earned a point at Old Trafford thanks to Declan Rice's goal. Meanwhile, Chelsea's passive style of play has drawn criticism, with their recent wins over Leicester City and Copenhagen relying on individual moments of brilliance from Marc Cucurella and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
Player Situation:
Arsenal will be without several key players, including Tomiyasu, Saka, Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, and Sterling, though Martinelli is set to make his first start since injury. Youngster Ethan Nwaneri could make history as the youngest player to score in a Premier League London derby. Chelsea also has injury concerns with Jackson, Guiu, Madueke, and Kellyman sidelined, while Mudryk is suspended. Fans are also waiting on Malo Gusto's fitness; if unavailable, Fofana or James may fill in at right-back.
Result Prediction:
Sunday's London derby at the Emirates is expected to be a tight match, as both teams struggle with converting possession into goals. However, with Martinelli's return and extra rest, Arsenal are favored to break through Chelsea's defense and head into the international break on a positive note.
Predicted Result: Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea
