The Arsenal players Mikel Arteta will be without for vital Chelsea Premier League clash

Arsenal will be looking to avoid a fourth consecutive league defeat when they travel to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea tomorrow night. The Gunners are currently enduring a very poor run of form having lost their last three matches, results that have seen them drop out of the top four and into sixth place in the Premier League.

Mikel Arteta's side managed to beat Thomas Tuchel's outfit in the same fixture last season, with Emile Smith Rowe scoring the game's only goal. That was, however, in front of no fans, and with the Chelsea crowd back in the stadium, the task at hand is expected to be that little bit more difficult.

And to make matters even more complicated, the Gunners will be without some of their key star's for the clash. Long term absentees Thomas Partey and Kieran Tierney both remain restricted to the sidelines. The pair appear somewhat unlikely to take to the pitch again this campaign.
