After three successive defeats, Arsenal have a massive mountain to climb with regard to the top-four race and hopes of ending this dismal run don't get any easier with a clash against Chelsea on Wednesday night.
Whilst the Gunners have handed Tottenham Hotspur the upper hand in the battle for Champions League football over the past three weeks, Mikel Arteta will be well aware that victory at Stamford Bridge will see his side move level on points with their north London rivals with six games to play.
In terms of team news, Thomas Partey and Kieran Tierney are the only first-team players definitely unavailable for selection, although Alexandre Lacazette and Takehiro Tomiyasu are in contention to return. So with a near full-strength squad at his disposal, Arteta is facing somewhat of a selection headache when it comes to naming his line-up to face the Blues.
