"Arsenal restored their five-point advantage at the top of the Premier League on Sunday evening, when they defeated their London rivals Chelsea 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium. Goals from William Saliba and Jurrien Timber, either side of a Piero Hincapie own goal secured the victory after title rivals Manchester City had closed the gap to two points 24 hours earlier when they defeated Leeds United at Elland Road."
"Declan Rice was substituted for Christian Norgaard in the 76th minute, appearing to be in discomfort after he had raced back to prevent a Chelsea counter. Rice has missed just one Premier League game for Arsenal this season, with the 100million man a key cog in Mikel Arteta's side."
"Arteta will be hoping that Rice will be fit and available for what is a busy upcoming fortnight for his side. Wednesday's trip to Brighton is followed by an FA Cup fifth-round away day at Mansfield Town on Saturday lunchtime, before the Gunners are back in European action when they visit Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday night."
Arsenal secured a 2-1 victory over Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium, with goals from William Saliba and Jurrien Timber offsetting a Piero Hincapie own goal. The win restored Arsenal's five-point advantage at the top of the Premier League following Manchester City's 2-0 victory over Leeds United the previous day. Declan Rice was substituted in the 76th minute after appearing to be in discomfort while defending against a Chelsea counter-attack. Manager Mikel Arteta provided limited information about Rice's condition, stating he would need to be checked before Wednesday's fixture. Rice's post-match social media activity suggested the injury may not be serious, though his availability for upcoming matches remains uncertain.
