Bukayo Saka is set to be available for Arsenal\u2019s Premier League match against Chelsea on Sunday following his injury concern last weekend.<\/p>\n

In the 4-1 win away to Tottenham last Sunday, Saka fell awkwardly on his ankle and immediately signalled to the bench.<\/p>\n

Saka was able to walk off the pitch unaided and was replaced by Noni Madueke in the closing stages of the game.<\/p>\n

Arsenal, who are five points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League, will host Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

When asked if Arsenal have any new injury concerns for the game against Liam Rosenior\u2019s side, Arteta said on Friday: \u2018No so far, we\u2019re waiting for tomorrow, the last training session, to understand if we have one or two available from last week.<\/p>\n

\u2018We are hopeful. Max [Dowman] will play some minutes tonight with under-21s, Kai [Havertz] will train tomorrow and Ben [White], let\u2019s see.\u2019<\/p>\n

Chelsea, meanwhile, sit fifth in the Premier League after their 1-1 draw at home to Burnley last Saturday.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Arsenal sealed a 1-0 win at home to Chelsea in the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final and Arteta is unsure whether Rosenior will adopt a similar approach to the game.<\/p>\n

\u2018We don\u2019t know, I mean, they\u2019ve done different things, they can change throughout the game,\u2019 Arteta said.<\/p>\n

\u2018They have the players and they have a manager who is very comfortable doing that, so we\u2019re prepared, we\u2019re going to be prepared for the possible scenarios that we can face throughout the game, and try to do better than them.\u2019<\/p>\n
