Arsenal will move three points clear of Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table if they can overcome Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday evening. Gunners boss Mikel Arteta could recall three players to his starting line-up, with the north London giants facing their sixth clash in 21 days. And Express Sport runs through the starting team Arteta could roll with.

Spain goalkeeper David Raya has well and truly established himself as Arsenal’s No 1 shot-stopper this season and kept his 13th Premier League clean sheet of the season on Saturday as his side got the better of Wolves. He could play an important role between now and the end of the season as the Gunners attempt to win their first league title since 2004.

Defence - White, Gabriel, Saliba, Zinchenko

Oleksandr Zinchenko could return to the side at left-back after remaining on the bench at Molineux. The Ukraine international began the season as Arsenal’s first-choice player on the left side of defence but has been forced to share gametime with Jakub Kiwior in recent weeks.

Arteta has been pretty consistent in his selection in the centre of defence, with Gabriel and William Saliba starting their side’s last 23 top-flight matches alongside one another. The dynamic duo should line-up together once again during the visit of the Blues, with Ben White occupying the right-back berth.

Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice have been standout performers for the Gunners and have a combined 26 Premier League goal involvements this campaign. The pair will be tasked with breaking up Chelsea’s play and getting their team moving in the right direction against Mauricio Pochettino’s men.

They could welcome former Blues ace Jorginho back into the side after he, too, sat out the trip to the Black Country at the weekend.

READ MORE Arsenal star Jurrien Timber to play for first time since August this week Forwards - Saka, Havertz, Martinelli

Germany international Kai Havertz could be pushed further forward to lead the frontline after starting in midfield last time out. And that move would see Gabriel Jesus drop to the bench.

Bukayo Saka will be looking to get back among the goals in the capital, with the England winger failing to score in five of his last six league appearances. And Gabriel Martinelli could line-up on the left flank after failing to start a top-flight match since bagging a goal and an assist in the Gunners’ 6-0 drubbing on Sheffield United at the start of March.
