Chelsea will take on Arsenal at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. The two London clubs will face each other in the Premier League to continue their fixtures.
The Gunners and the Blues usually face each other with a high level of winning spirit. As a result, it’s definitely going to be a long 90 minutes during the weekend.
Mauricio Pochettino’s troops are currently on a 3-match winning streak. Of course, they would want to continue winning after the international break.
Also, Mikel Arteta’s side haven’t lost any games in the Premier League this season. So, they would want to stay unbeaten against the West London club on Saturday.
However, the Blues are most likely to miss three first-team players against the North London club. And it may affect the team’s performance at Stamford Bridge.
According to Nizaar Kinsella, Reece James, Carney Chukwuemeka, and Armando Broja are all doubts on Saturday. They are most unlikely to face the Gunners.
In all fairness, this is a massive injury blow for the West London club. Nevertheless, Mauricio Pochettino has enough reinforcements in the squad.
It’s reported that Reece James sustained an injury in training 10 days ago. Meanwhile, he has already had a scan, and he’s fine. However, the player is currently training alone.
As a result, he won’t be available to face Arsenal at Stamford Bridge. Also, Carney Chukwuemeka has a setback in his knee injury, which will sideline him on Saturday.
At the same time, Armando Broja is most likely to miss the London derby. The Albanian youngster was withdrawn from international duties as a result of an injury.
Therefore, Carney Chukwuemeka and Reece James are now training alone. Which means they are not training with the team at the moment.
Regardless, Mauricio Pochettino has enough replacements in the squad. And he would definitely want to win over the Gunners on Saturday.
