Arteta will almost certainly bring all of Jurrien Timber, William Saliba, Ethan Nwaneri, Martin Odegaard and Leandro Trossard back into the starting lineup after they started the PSV game on the bench.
Cole Palmer shook off illness to feature off the bench on Thursday night and is expected to start on Sunday.
Reece James was also on the bench for that game following illness of his own and will likely be back in action here. Levi Colwill is also expected to come back into the starting lineup alongside Marc Cucurella.
Arsenal vs Chelsea prediction
Still, Chelsea are unlikely to defend quite as deep as United did, which should help Arteta’s side. It remains difficult to judge the Blues given the quality of their opposition of late and Arsenal are no doubt a huge step up.
