Arsenal have regained the Premier League title after a 2-0 defeat against Wolves, despite losing the Champions League quarter-finals. With 74 points, they are in control of the domestic league, but have played one match more than main title contenders Man City. Arsenal faces two London derbies against Chelsea and Spurs, with their first stern test coming against the Blues.
Chelsea, led by in-form Cole Palmer, may be able to score against their city rivals, but they should depart without any rewards. Arsenal, who cannot afford to falter, should do enough to outplay their London rivals at the Emirates, as they did last year when they dismantled the Blues 3-1. With only five fixtures left on the calendar, Arsenal must exercise caution and avoid stumbling blocks as they face two London derbies against Chelsea and Spurs.
Jurrien Timber will play for Arsenal U21s as he recovers from a knee injury. Takehiro Tomiyasu, who missed the Wolves win due to health issues, will be assessed before the match against Chelsea.
Chelsea’s injury list has significantly reduced, but they will face six players without them, most of whom are out for the season. Despite being beaten by Man City in the FA Cup semi-final, manager Mauricio Pochettino will retain most of the team’s performance.
