Chelsea
The customary 11 changes were made by Chelsea head coach Maresca in midweek, and Cole Palmer was of course absent after not being selected for the Conference League league phase, but the Blues sensation is also still feeling the effects of Lisandro Martinez's tackle last weekend.
Maresca is keeping his fingers crossed that Palmer - who has been called up to the England squad - will be able to make a swift return to the first XI this weekend, but Jadon Sancho is also touch-and-go with a knock and an illness, while Omari Kellyman (hamstring) is out.
No Premier League player boasts more direct involvements than Palmer's 12 this season - seven of his own and five assists - but Christopher Nkunku and Joao Felix both made their case to replace him with braces in the destruction of Noah.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Sanchez; Gusto, Fofana, Colwill, James; Caicedo, Lavia; Madueke, Palmer, Neto; Jackson
Arsenal
Speaking of influential English midfielders whom their managers are sweating over, Arsenal's Declan Rice - who spent seven years in the Chelsea academy system - is still uncertain for this crunch clash on account of a foot injury, believed to be a broken toe.
It was one in, one out as far as the Gunners' medical team were concerned in midweek, as Martin Odegaard made his long-awaited return from an ankle injury as a late substitute, and Arteta should have no qualms about throwing him back into the XI amid his side's creativity crisis.
Erstwhile Blue Kai Havertz will need a once-over after a nasty clash of heads with Inter's Yann Bisseck on Wednesday, though, while Riccardo Calafiori (knee), Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) and Kieran Tierney (hamstring) will not be back this side of the international break. In addition, Raheem Sterling cannot face his parent team.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber; Odegaard, Jorginho, Partey; Saka, Jesus, Martinelli
Prediction: Chelsea 1-1 Arsenal
