Arsenal are back in Premier League action as they make the short trip across London to face off against rivals Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. The Gunners are hopeful of returning to the top of the table after Manchester City leapfrogged them with a last gasp winner against Fulham.
The Blues will be far from an easy matchup though, having picked up a string of impressive results under new boss Graham Potter. Mikel Arteta will be boosted by the fact that a number of players are making their return from injury going into the clash, adding strength and depth to his options.
With that said, here's a look at the latest Arsenal injury news as they look to earn another huge three points against their London rivals.

Takehiro Tomiyasu
One of the only negatives to come from Thursday's Europa League victory over FC Zurich was an injury to Takehiro Tomiyasu late in the game. It remains to be seen if he will make a return, however he wasn't seen in training ahead of the clash, which suggests he may be absent.
What Arteta has said: "We don’t know. He has had a muscular issue and had to come off because we don’t want to take any risks. But we will assess him in the next 48 hours and decide what is best to do next."
Expected return date: Unknown
Oleksandr Zinchenko
The Arsenal left-back has struggled with injuries so far this season, but his return on Thursday against FC Zurich was a welcome sight for fans. While he didn't make it onto the pitch, the Ukraine international could be given a return outing against Chelsea on Sunday in a huge clash.
Bukayo Saka
Bukayo Saka has been a standout player for Arsenal so far this season, which made his injury scare against Nottingham Forest even worse. The England international took some heavy blows to the foot and ankle against the East Midlands outfit, forcing an early substitution in the first half.
In a boost to the Gunners, the winger made a swift recovery and featured from the bench in their narrow win over FC Zurich on Thursday. He looks set to play against Chelsea, but it remains to be seen if he is fit enough to start the game.
Matt Turner
USMNT international Matt Turner has been absent for the past two weeks, picking up an injury concern just before the side's clash with PSV Eindhoven in the Europa League. The goalkeeper once again missed the midweek competition last time out and looks set to be another absence.
Expected return date: Unknown
