Tuesday’s highly anticipated Premier League rivalry between Arsenal and Chelsea, their rivals from London, is scheduled to take place at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal defeated Wolves 2-0 last Saturday to recover from their recent loss to Aston Villa and their elimination from the Champions League.
They reclaimed the Premier League summit with the away win, and they will look to extend that lead when they play Chelsea.
Cole Palmer has joined Chelsea stalwarts like Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba, and his incredible first season has benefited the Blues.
The 21-year-old has scored 20 goals in the Premier League, 10 of which have come in his previous five games.
Chelsea has a lengthy history of success versus their neighbors, despite the fact that they lost this identical game 3-1 the previous season.
Since October 2003, they have not dropped back-to-back Premier League away games against Arsenal.
With four wins and four draws in their previous eight Premier League games this season, the Blues have also not lost a single game.
Concerning injuries, Arsenal’s roster is mostly unaltered going into the game; no fresh injuries have been announced.
Robert Sanchez and Christopher Nkunku are very close to returning to the club after training, but Chelsea is hoping for reinforcements ahead of the match.
Reece James, Romeo Lavia, and Levi Colwill continue to be out while Palmer is reportedly feeling under the weather, raising questions over his availability.
While Arsenal may view the match as more significant, Chelsea will aim to continue their winning streak and eye their unlikely prospects of qualifying for any European event.
Tuesday night kickoff is at 8 p.m. at the Emirates Stadium.
