4 talking points ahead of Chelsea vs Arsenal
- Gunners travel to London rivals Chelsea
- Looking to reignite form against a tough side
- Key midfield man set to return
2. Return of Declan Rice
Declan Rice is currently managing a toe injury and missed the defeat at Inter as a result but he is expected to return to face Chelsea however.
The return of the England international will come as a massive boost for Mikel Arteta, who will now have one of his best midfielders available for what will likely be a very tough clash. Rice's return should have some impact on the result, considering his sheer brilliance.
It may be good news seeing Rice return, but the Gunners must be careful if he is playing through an injury. As minor as a toe injury can be, Arsenal must be cautious to ensure the midfielder's issue does not worsen against Chelsea.
