Chelsea will be without a host of first-team players when they travel to the Emirates Stadium to face Arsenal in the Premier League on Tuesday night.
Star man Cole Palmer is a doubt for the match, while Ben Chilwell and Malo Gusto are ruled out. Mauricio Pochettino’s team also has several key players unavailable, including Christopher Nkunku, Reece James, and Wesley Fofana.
The Blues are facing a difficult task against an in-form Arsenal side, who will be looking to extend their unbeaten run in the league to 10 matches.
Chelsea will be hoping to rotate their squad, but they will be without a number of key players. Djordje Petrovic is expected to start in goal, behind a back four of Axel Disasi, Thiago Silva, Trevoh Chalobah, and Marc Cucurella.
The usual midfield trio of Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, and Conor Gallagher is likely to continue, while Raheem Sterling is pushing to return to the front three alongside Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson.
Predicted Chelsea XI: Petrovic; Disasi, Silva, Chalobah, Cucurella; Caicedo, Gallagher, Fernandez; Madueke, Jackson, Sterling
Injuries: Nkunku, James, Ugochukwu, Lavia, Sanchez, Fofana, Chilwell, Gusto
Doubts: Palmer
