Chelsea and Arsenal face off in the Premier League today in a really exciting game for this stage of the season
So far we've been focused on what's happening in Chelsea's camp – there are fears the Blues are short-handed in midfield after losing Enzo Fernandez on deadline day. But what situation are Arsenal in?

While Chelsea have an almost fully fit squad, the Gunners have a few more worries. With Willian Saliba out long term, they were hoping to rely on Cristhian Mosquera. However the 22 year old picked up a hamstring injury on Monday night.
Bruno Guimaraes is another doubt – he's missed training this week after also picking up a knock on Monday, but looks like he will be ready to face us today.
Jurrien Timber is another long term absentee. He's close to a return, but a place on the bench looks more likely that a starting spot.
All in all, this is a still a very strong Arsenal team, but there's no doubt they're missing a few important players.
