Latest Chelsea vs Arsenal team news
The most notable news from this week's press conferences is that Cole Palmer – who hasn't played since September 20th – is now fully ready after recovering from groin and toe injuries.
Maresca even confirmed Palmer was fit enough to start, but it was likely he would only be on the bench after more than two months without playing. The same applied to Dario Essugo, who had just recovered from thigh surgery.
The return of Palmer and Essugo means Chelsea now have only two injury concerns: Levi Colwill (torn anterior cruciate ligament) and Romeo Lavia (thigh). Meanwhile, Mykhaylo Mudryk – a former Arsenal transfer target – remains unavailable due to a temporary doping suspension.
On Arsenal's side, Leandro Trossard has become a new concern after suffering a muscle problem in the match against Bayern, but Arteta believes his injury is not serious.
However, Martinelli and Madueke – who is eager to prove himself against his former club – are both quality replacements once they have recovered from injury. Of the two, Martinelli is considered the stronger candidate for the starting position on the left wing.
When asked about Viktor Gyokeres (hamstring) and Kai Havertz (knee), Arteta did not give specific information, only saying that both would be examined tomorrow to determine their availability.
Arsenal will definitely be without Gabriel Magalhaes (hamstring) and Gabriel Jesus (fitness) this weekend, although Jesus recently played a closed-door friendly without any problems.

Latest football match prediction: Chelsea vs Arsenal
While Sunday's highlight match is the battle for the top spot, Chelsea are almost certain to be pushed out of second place before kick-off, as Manchester City – who are just one point behind them – will host Leeds United on Saturday.
Nevertheless, after 12 rounds, only one team had a worse record than Enzo Maresca's Club World Cup champions, making the brief talk of a possible manager change a few months earlier seem unbelievable.
The Italian manager's future was once in question when Chelsea won only four of their opening eight games of the season. But since then, Maresca has led his team to nine wins in their last 11 matches across all competitions, including their last three Premier League games.
Tottenham, Burnley, and Wolves all fell to Chelsea without scoring a single goal. And Barcelona, down to 10 men, suffered the same fate on Tuesday night, as Hansi Flick's hopelessly high defensive line was ruthlessly punished by the West London side.
However, Stamford Bridge hasn't always been a stronghold for Chelsea this season. They've only collected less than 44% of their Premier League points at home – only Tottenham (28%) have a lower percentage.
Notably, Chelsea have yet to win two consecutive home games this season. They have dropped points against Crystal Palace, Brighton, and most recently Sunderland, so the 3-0 victory against Wolves on November 8th may not necessarily be a good omen.
Responding to Chelsea's impressive victory over Barcelona with an equally outstanding European win, Arsenal have partially settled their score with Bayern Munich – their "eternal rivals" – and are now the only team to have won all five Champions League matches.
Jurrien Timber, Noni Madueke, and Gabriel Martinelli took turns scoring against the Bundesliga champions in North London, virtually guaranteeing Arsenal a place in the last 16 without needing a two-legged playoff.
Much has been said about Arsenal's "dreadful" period after international breaks, but the Premier League leaders have overcome both challenges perfectly, having previously thrashed Tottenham 4-1 in the North London derby.
If they win and other results go well, Arsenal could extend their lead at the top of the table to nine points with the season a third of the way through. However, it's a bit early to talk about the championship at this point, as December hasn't even begun yet.
Stamford Bridge used to be a nightmare for Arsenal, but they haven't lost there for over seven years. Across all competitions, the Gunners are also unbeaten against Chelsea in seven matches since their 0-2 defeat in August 2021.
Arsenal have also faced Chelsea four times while leading the Premier League, and won all four times. However, history is only a reference point in big matches like this.
