Arsenal vs Chelsea - LIVE!

Arsenal cannot afford any slip-ups as they host Chelsea in a London derby tonight. The Gunners sit top of the Premier League on goal difference and would go four points clear of Manchester City with victory in north London, but Pep Guardiola’s side will have two games in hand.

It was a crucial win over Wolves last time out for Arsenal, bouncing back from their Champions League disappointment. Mikel Arteta’s side have had a hectic fixture list and could make changes as a result, with Jorginho potentially coming into the team and Kai Havertz starting up front against their former club.

Chelsea come into this match with plenty of regret, after they were knocked out of the FA Cup by Manchester City. The Blues had plenty of chances to win that semi-final, but were made to pay for their wastefulness in front of goal. Cole Palmer is a major doubt tonight with illness, in what would be a huge blow for Mauricio Pochettino. Follow all the action with Standard Sport’s LIVE blog, featuring expert analysis from Simon Collings and Nizaar Kinsella at the ground!

Arsenal team news

Arsenal may be forced to make changes tonight.

The Gunners have had a hectic schedule during April as they fight to win the Premier League title.

Jakub Kiwior had a difficult first half against Wolves last time out, however he recovered and was steady after the break. Oleksandr Zinchenko could come in and it remains to be seen if Takehiro Tomiyasu is fit after missing the win at Molineux with a knock picked up from the Bayern Munich game.

Jorginho will hope to come into the midfield to face his old club after being rested at the weekend.

If the Italian does get back into the starting XI then another former Chelsea ace, Kai Havertz, will most likely be returned to his role as Arsenal’s centre-forward.
