Arsenal can close the huge gap to Liverpool at the top of the table but Chelsea come to the Emirates in form and chasing their own Champions League ambitions

Cole Palmer misses out for Chelsea against Arsenal this afternoon. Palmer started Thursday’s Conference League win Copenhagen on the bench following illness, and was expected to feature at the Emirates Stadium in an attempt to end his run of 10 games without a goal.

As coordinated as those attacking moves are Arsenal have become known this season for their set-piece proficiency. They hadn’t scored from corners in a while, but against a Chelsea team who seemingly don’t know how to make the most out of their own set-piece specialist they would get back in track with a Mikel Merino headed flick.
