Meanwhile, full-backs Ben Chilwell and Reece James are doubtful with respective ankle and knee injuries.

    Can Arteta's Arsenal stop Chelsea?

    Arsenal need to be at their absolute best to turn things around. The Gunners, who were thrashed by Manchester City in the League Cup quarter-final, need to react in a positive manner.
