<\/p>\n

Arsenal and Chelsea will close the activity of matchday 28 of the Premier League at the Emirates, where both will aim to get three golden points. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Gunners are at the top of the league and are excited about the championship, while the Blues will try to win away from home to put pressure on Manchester United in the fight to enter the UEFA Champions League. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

BY: David Raya <\/strong>\u2013 His presence guarantees security for Mikel Arteta’s team and for the Spanish team, which has him as one of the keys to getting excited about the 2026 World Cup.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

LI: Piero Hincapi\u00e9<\/strong> \u2013 He is on loan with Arsenal but he has done wonderfully. He promised 79% of won duels and has the versatility to play as a center back or go to the wing, something he will surely do in that match.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

DFC: Gabriel Magalhaes<\/strong> \u2013 He is a powerful central defender and commander, noted for his imposing physical presence, dominance in aerial duels and ability to read the game. In addition, he has good ball delivery, composure to build from behind and contributes offensively with headers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

DFC: William Saliba<\/strong> \u2013 The French center back, one of the best defenders in the world in his position. A fundamental pillar of Arsenal since 2022, he stands out for his elegance, physical strength, reading of the game and ability to come out playing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

LD: Jurri\u00ebn Timber<\/strong> \u2013 This man returned from the ashes to become one of the best defenders today. He steals balls and his only thought is to go forward and collaborate with his teammates.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MC: Mart\u00edn Zubimendi<\/strong> \u2013 He is a Spanish pivot who is one of Arsenal’s big signings in 2025. Elegant, excellent in distribution, great positioning and recovery. Considered Rodri’s \u201cnatural successor\u201d in the Spanish team.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MC: Declan Rice<\/strong> \u2013 The English midfielder, occasional captain and leader of the team. Signed from West Ham in 2023 for a record fee. Complete box-to-box: recovers, distributes, reaches the area and has a goal. One of the best in the world in his position.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MC: Have mercy on the King<\/strong> \u2013 The sniper. Playing inside, he will look for the mid-distance shot (one of his specialties) against a Chelsea that, from time to time, will lock itself in its area.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

HE: Gabriel Martinelli<\/strong> \u2013 He is a dynamic winger\/attacker, who relies on speed, dribbling, intelligent mobility and collective work to generate constant danger and contribute both in attack and defense.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

ED: Open Up<\/strong> \u2013 He comes from scoring and the best news for the fans was that he renewed his contract in recent weeks. A smart move by the London board.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

DC: Viktor Gy\u00f6keres<\/strong> \u2013 Finally, at the front of the attack we would see the Swede, who has managed to pierce the opposing nets eight times, but wants more.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is what Arsenal’s possible lineup (4-2-3-1) would look like: <\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Goalie<\/strong>: David Raya<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Defenses<\/strong>: Piero Hincapi\u00e9, Gabriel Magalhaes, William Saliba, Jurri\u00ebn Timber<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Midfielders<\/strong>: Mart\u00edn Zubimendi, Declan Rice, Eberechi Eze<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Forwards<\/strong>: Gabriel Martinelli, Bukayo Saka, V\u00edktor Gy\u00f6keres<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

BY: Robert S\u00e1nchez<\/strong> \u2013 Undisputed starter between the sticks. The Spanish goalkeeper has ten clean sheets in his Premier League appearances this season with the blue team.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

LD: Reece James <\/strong>\u2013 The captain returns to occupy the right sector of the defense after missing the matches against Wolves and Leeds due to a trauma from which he has now fully recovered.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

DFC: Tosin Adarabioyo<\/strong> \u2013 He stands out mainly for his imposing physique (he is 1.96 m tall) and his excellent ball delivery. He has established himself as a technical and calm profile at the back.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

DFC<\/strong>: Trevoh Chalobah <\/strong>-He is one of the regulars in the starting eleven. The English centre-back has only missed one match in this Premier League and has scored three goals.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

LI<\/strong>: Jorrel Hato <\/strong>\u2013 The young 19-year-old full-back from Ajax will have the difficult task of replacing Marc Cucurella who is injured. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MC: Mois\u00e9s Caicedo<\/strong> \u2013 The Ecuadorian engine that Rosenior has in the midfield will be present again. He is another of the team’s regulars, playing 76% of the minutes. He has participated in four goals in the Premier: 3 scored and 1 assist.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MC: Andrey Santos<\/strong> – Rosenior knew how to make this 21-year-old Brazilian midfielder shine during his time at Racing Strasbourg and has given him continuity at Chelsea.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

ED: Pedro Neto<\/strong> – Power, speed and imbalance. One of Les Blues’ favorite weapons when opening games. He has 5 goals and 3 assists in 26 games in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MCO: Cole Palmer<\/strong> – The blue team’s most unbalanced player has been growing after a start to the season well below expectations, and in which he has had to overcome several physical discomforts.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

EI: Enzo Fern\u00e1ndez<\/strong> – The Argentine provides vision, final pass and arrival at the goal. Committed each time in the offensive facet of the team. He has only missed one Premier game, against Nottingham Forest last October due to an injury.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

DC: Jo\u00e3o Pedro<\/strong> – With 10 goals in 26 games, the Brazilian footballer is Chelsea’s top scorer so far this season in the Premier.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is what Chelsea’s lineup would look like (4-2-3-1)<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Goalie<\/strong>:Robert Sanchez<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Defenses<\/strong>: Reece James, Trevoh Chalobah, Tosin Adarabioyo, Jorrel Hato<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Midfielders<\/strong>: Andrey Santos, Mois\u00e9s Caicedo<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Offensive midfielders<\/strong>: Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer, Enzo Fern\u00e1ndez<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Front<\/strong>: Jo\u00e3o Pedro<\/p>\n
