Chelsea suffers a setback prior to this Sunday’s matchup with Arsenal

Chelsea’s next game is against Arsenal on Saturday at Stamford Bridge. The Blues currently stand sixth in the EPL rankings, and they will need a win to keep their hopes alive in the top-four race.

Last Wednesday night, Chelsea won 2-1 against Dynamo Zagreb, and the victory brought much-needed confidence after being humiliated 4-1 by Brighton last weekend. When the Blues takes in Arsenal, things will be a bit tougher, as the Gunners are on top of their form and will be eager to defend their position.

Moreover, Chelsea suffered a massive blow after Ben Chilwell picked up an injury in the second half last Wednesday night. This means that Potter will be without the key and influential wing-backs, Reece James and Ben Chilwell.

Chelsea will be breathing through the wound as Arsenal handed a significant boost in the absence of Potter’s spiky wing-backs. The gunners will look to exploit their vulnerability in the wide areas, and Chelsea needs to defend well.
