Odegaard out as Arsenal name unchanged team for Chelsea clash | OneFootball

Arsenal have named an unnamed team from last weekend’s North London derby win to face Chelsea in the Premier League today.

Fresh from that 4-1 win at Tottenham Hotspur, Mikel Arteta has opted for the same side as Arsenal prepare for another capital contest.

Viktor Gyokeres leads the line for the Gunners after his two-goal performance against Spurs, with Eberechi Eze again selected in midfield.

William Saliba and Gabriel again start in central defence, while Leandro Trossard is preferred to Gabriel Martinelli on the left-hand side of the front three.

There’s no place in the matchday squad for Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard. Elsewhere, former Chelsea duo Noni Madueke and Kai Havertz are among the substitutes.
