Arsenal host Chelsea in the spotlight fixture of the Premier League weekend as the Gunners look to get back to winning ways.
Despite a record-breaking performance in the Champions League round of 16, Arsenal have fallen far out of the domestic title race. If they're not careful, they could quickly find themselves in a top four battle. Arsenal's last win in the league came a month ago when they defeated Leicester City. A loss to West Ham United and draws against Nottingham Forest and Manchester United put the Gunners 15 points back in the title race. A win would cut the gap to 12, but with just nine games to go most fans believe the Champions League is the only remaining path to a trophy.
Chelsea come into the game fourth in the league. Depending on results, they could leapfrog Forest, or they could get overtaken by Manchester City.
GK: David Raya—Raya is two clean sheets behind Matz Sels for the Golden Glove.
RB: Jurrien Timber—Timber returns to the starting lineup after Ben White started against PSV midweek.
CB: William Saliba—Saliba was given a full rest against PSV.
CB: Gabriel—No surprise here as Gabriel continues to partner Saliba.
LB: Myles Lewis-Skelly—The academy product should start at left back as he continues to make a name for himself this season.
CM: Martin Ødegaard—Ødegaard is the catalyst in midfield.
CM: Thomas Partey—Partey was also fully rested against PSV, so he should be good to go.
CM: Declan Rice—Rice scored again midweek and has been in strong form as he continues to play as a left-sided midfielder in Arteta's system.
LW: Gabriel Martinelli—The Brazilian should be ready to go after appearing off the bench against Man United and PSV.
ST: Leandro Trossard—With Martinelli back, Arteta can slot Trossard back into the striker role where he's seen success as a false nine.
