Mikel Arteta handed Arsenal tactical boost amid Graham Potter's Chelsea injury crisis

Arsenal are back in Premier League action on Sunday as they make the short trip across London to face off with rivals Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. It's the Gunners' penultimate league game before their break for the World Cup, which they will be hoping will see them top of the league over that period.

Two wins from their final two would see them achieve just that, setting a marker for where they will hope to pick up in late December with a huge title push. The Blues will prove a tough challenge and a test of those credentials before the break, with new boss Graham Potter keeping them moving along.

"They’ve been really consistent," Mikel Arteta said on his opponents after Thursday's win over FC Zurich in the Europa League. "The results that they’ve had recently since Graham took over you can see what he’s trying to do and we will be ready and will start to prepare for the game from tonight."
