Arsenal welcome Chelsea to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon, with both London rivals aiming to preserve their perfect starts to the Premier League campaign. Mikel Arteta’s side have won both of their opening matches, but the manager has a few selection issues to resolve ahead of the 4:30pm kick-off. Bruno Guimaraes picked up a knock during Arsenal’s 1-0 win over Aston Villa, while Cristhian Mosquera was forced off with an injury. Arteta is expected to assess both players before making a final decision. Jurrien Timber provides a boost after returning to training, while William Saliba remains sidelined, although Arteta said the defender’s recent progress has been “really positive”.
Chelsea also have a fitness concern ahead of the derby, with Moises Caicedo set for a late assessment after being substituted during their 4-3 victory over Brighton. Jordan Henderson remains unavailable following the injury he suffered while on international duty with England during the World Cup. However, Xabi Alonso has indicated that the midfielder is nearing a return, leaving Chelsea hopeful that he will soon be back in contention.
