Mikel Arteta faces the media ahead of Arsenal's huge Premier League showdown this weekend. The Gunners face their London rivals, Chelsea, with a chance to put nine points between them and their current closest title-challenging opponents.
Enzo Maresca pulled off an impressive 3-0 win over Barcelona in midweek to raise the expectations of the weekend’s game. However, the Gunners' 3-1 win over European heavyweights Bayern Munich has only furthered Arsenal’s reputation for the season.
Leandro Trossard did come off in that battle with an injury, Arteta said they didn’t want to take any chances with. While, Gabriel Jesus is believed to have been involved in a midweek behind-closed-doors game.
The manager is expected to provide an update on the status of the players who are a concern and other key storylines. You can hear everything Arteta has to say on all that and much more from football.london's Arsenal reporter, Tom Canton , in our live blog below.
