Hincapie And Eze To Start; Madueke On The Bench: Arsenal Predicted XI Vs Chelsea

Arsenal is heading to Stamford Bridge this weekend to take on their rivals, Chelsea, in a crucial Premier League clash.

More Details

The Gunners are riding a wave of confidence following impressive victories against Tottenham last Sunday and Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday.

However, the schedule remains challenging as they face a formidable Chelsea side on Sunday. Under manager Enzo Maresca, Chelsea currently poses the closest threat to Arsenal in the league table.

A win would narrow the gap to just three points, but given Arsenal’s current strong form, securing the victory will be a significant test for the Blues. Mikel Arteta faces challenging lineup choices as he aims for a win that would push the Gunners’ lead atop the table to nine points.

The Arsenal defensive line-up for the match against Chelsea features David Raya in goal, aiming for a clean sheet. The central defense is anchored by William Saliba, who will lead the back line’s effort to shut down the Blues’ attack at Stamford Bridge. Piero Hincapie is expected to retain his center-back position following Gabriel’s injury in the previous match against Spurs.

On the flanks, the impressive Jurrien Timber starts at right-back, hoping to influence the game, while Italian left-back Riccardo Calafiori faces a challenging duel against Chelsea’s star winger Estevao, a potential highlight of the Sunday fixture.

Martin Zubimendi is a regular starter in Arteta’s midfield and might face a challenge from Cole Palmer, who could feature in Sunday’s game.

Declan Rice will have extra motivation this weekend, as he’ll be playing against his former academy club, Chelsea, after starting his career there before moving to West Ham. Eberechi Eze enters the match on a high note, following his remarkable performance last weekend where he scored three goals against Tottenham.

The starting forward line for the upcoming match is likely to see Gabriel Martinelli replacing the slightly injured Leandro Trossard at left wing. Bukayo Saka will occupy the right wing, looking to increase his season’s goal tally. At striker, Viktor Gyokeres is awaiting a fitness assessment; if he is unavailable, Mikel Merino is expected to step in.
