The Gunners played out a 2-2 draw against the Blues in the reverse fixture and will be aiming for a victory this time around.

Predicted Line-up:

David Raya has been a mainstay in goal for the Gunners and he is expected to continue between the sticks against the Blues.

In defence, Ben White , William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes are assured starters. The only change could be at left-back with Oleksandr Zinchenko coming in for Jakub Kiwior .

With the Blues having two defensive midfielders in Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo , Mikel could be tempted to match them. Jorginho could be reinstated alongside Declan Rice .

Further forward, Martin Odegaard is assured to continue in the number 10 role. Bukayo Saka should line up on the right with Leandro Trossard on the left after his crucial goal last weekend.

Kai Havertz should lead the attack ahead of Gabriel Jesus , who struggled to find the back of the net against Wolves . Havertz's aerial presence and hold-up play could be more effective tonight.

Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1): Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Jorginho, Rice; Saka, Odegaard, Trossard; Havertz.
