Mikel Arteta has named an unchanged team for this afternoon’s Premier League game against Chelsea, but Kai Havertz is back on the bench.

The boss has kept faith with the same 11 players that thrashed Tottenham Hotspur 4-1 away from home seven days ago, as he hopes for a similar display in another London derby a week on.

However the boss’ attacking options have been boosted by the return of Havertz, who hopes to make an impact against his former club once again after netting the winner when we last met the Blues four weeks ago in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg.

Havertz replaces Martin Odegaard who drops out of the matchday squad.


Chelsea meanwhile have made two changes for this game, with Mamadou Sarr taking the place of Wes Fofana who is suspended after being red-carded duing the Blues’ 1-1 draw with Burnley last time out.

The other switch sees Jorrel Hato come in at left-back in place of Malo Gusto, who drops to the bench.
