Where to look
ESPN and Disney+ broadcast live.
How Chelsea arrives
The Blues have shown a good performance at the start of the season. During the week they also beat the Armenian Noah 8-0 in the Conference League.
Furthermore, manager Enzo Maresca may find it difficult to define Chelsea’s lineup. Cole Palmer was injured after the clash against Manchester United and therefore has not yet confirmed his presence. Finally, Omari Kellyman and Jadon Sancho are also in the medical department and should be absent from the team.
How Arsenal arrive
The Gunners, however, come into the clash after a 1-0 defeat against Inter, which places them in 12th place in the Champions League, with seven points.
Riccardo Calafiori and Takehiro Tomiyasu, moreover, are still out, which also weakens Arsenal. Raheem Sterling, linked to Chelsea, will not be able to participate in the match. Declan Rice is undeniably a doubt, while Kai Havertz will likely be rested, leaving room for Gabriel Jesus to take over the starting role in attack.
