Bukayo Saka is set to be available for Arsenal’s Premier League match against Chelsea on Sunday following his injury concern last weekend.

In the 4-1 win away to Tottenham last Sunday, Saka fell awkwardly on his ankle and immediately signalled to the bench.

Saka was able to walk off the pitch unaided and was replaced by Noni Madueke in the closing stages of the game.

Arsenal, who are five points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League, will host Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

When asked if Arsenal have any new injury concerns for the game against Liam Rosenior’s side, Arteta said on Friday: ‘No so far, we’re waiting for tomorrow, the last training session, to understand if we have one or two available from last week.

‘We are hopeful. Max [Dowman] will play some minutes tonight with under-21s, Kai [Havertz] will train tomorrow and Ben [White], let’s see.’

Chelsea, meanwhile, sit fifth in the Premier League after their 1-1 draw at home to Burnley last Saturday.

Earlier this month, Arsenal sealed a 1-0 win at home to Chelsea in the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final and Arteta is unsure whether Rosenior will adopt a similar approach to the game.

‘We don’t know, I mean, they’ve done different things, they can change throughout the game,’ Arteta said.

‘They have the players and they have a manager who is very comfortable doing that, so we’re prepared, we’re going to be prepared for the possible scenarios that we can face throughout the game, and try to do better than them.’
