"Arsenal replicated Manchester City's ugly victory at Leeds United on Saturday evening by edging a set piece-dominated contest with Chelsea to restore their five-point lead at the summit. Supporters won't care a jot how their wins come down the stretch, as long as they secure enough to claim a first Premier League title in 22 years."
"Declan Rice picked up an unknown ailment in Sunday's 2-1 victory over Chelsea, and had to be substituted with less than 20 minutes remaining. Arteta has said his midfielder will be assessed ahead of the trip down south, but the Spaniard has already hinted at midweek rotation."
"Christian Nørgaard is thus poised for a rare outing alongside Martín Zubimendi in midfield, with Mikel Merino still out after undergoing surgery at the start of the year to resolve a foot injury. Martin Ødegaard was absent again at the weekend due to a minor knee issue, but the captain could be back in the traveling squad on Wednesday."
