Arsenal are preparing for another huge London derby on Tuesday night as they host rivals Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners have suffered a setback in their pursuit of the Premier League title this season as they endure a run that has seen them without a win in four games.
It has seen Manchester City take the initiative in the race for the league, with only a handful of games remaining in the run-in this campaign. For Mikel Arteta and his squad, the focus must be on pushing them all the way, ensuring there's no regrets when the final curtain falls on the season.
The clash with the Blues will be a huge opportunity to get the ball rolling again, given their struggles over the past few months. The west London outfit are without a win under new interim boss Frank Lampard and their troubles in front of goal make for an ideal night to return to form.

With that said, here's a look at a few ways Arteta could line his Arsenal up to face Chelsea and finally return to winning ways.
Unchanged
Arteta could opt for an unchanged side from the Manchester City defeat, given that it is seemingly his preferred lineup to select. That's despite their recent concerns over conceding goals, but it could allow players to find some form once again before the final few games.
Lineup: Ramsdale; White, Holding, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Partey, Xhaka, Odegaard; Martinelli, Jesus, Saka.
Jorginho return
While it would be something of a romanticisation of the occasion to throw Jorginho into the team against his former side, he could be exactly what Arteta needs right now. Thomas Partey's recent struggles in midfield have only left the side more exposed and could result in a switch.
Jorginho could add plenty of experience as well as acting as a metronome in midfield to keep the ball ticking over in patient possession.
Lineup: Ramsdale; White, Holding, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Jorginho, Xhaka, Odegaard; Martinelli, Jesus, Saka.
Trossard in, Jesus out
There's no denying that Gabriel Jesus has had a positive impact on the team since his arrival, but questions over his input after the dip in form have arisen. That could pave the way for Leandro Trossard, who has chipped in with plenty of goal involvements since his arrival in January.
Lineup: Ramsdale; White, Holding, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Partey, Xhaka, Odegaard; Martinelli, Trossard, Saka.
