Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta could make three changes to the starting XI for the Premier League derby against Chelsea on the road tomorrow.

The Gunners hold a four-point lead over Manchester City at the top of the table and can extend their advantage with a positive result at Stamford Bridge.

Ahead of the game, Arteta could make three notable changes.

Piero Hincapie fared brilliantly as the left centre-back on his full Premier League debut against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend.

The Ecuadorian is expected to be reinstated in the role. He should replace Cristhian Mosquera and partner with William Saliba.

At left-back, Riccardo Calafiori has been ever-present in the Premier League this term and he is poised to replace Myles Lewis-Skelly.

Lewis-Skelly made his third European start in midweek. He had a poor outing before Calafiori came off the bench to bag an assist.

Alongside the duo, there could be an enforced change in attack.

Leandro Trossard picked up a knock against Bayern Munich and he may not be fit enough to start the game, in our point of view.

Gabriel Martinelli and Noni Madueke are possible solutions. Martinelli could get the nod, given he is a natural from the left wing.
