Chelsea to make last-minute decision over Cole Palmer fitness

The England international has proven himself to be Chelsea's best player over the last year or so and he's already grabbed seven goals and five assists in the Blues' first ten Premier League matches of the season.

Arsenal travel to Stamford Bridge level on points with hosts Chelsea but Enzo Maresca's side are one place above the Gunners because on goal difference.

Palmer was on the end of nasty challenge from Lisandro Martinez last weekend as Chelsea drew 1-1 against Manchester United and he's been attempting to get himself fit for Sunday's clash ever since.

And Palmer confirmed in an Instagram story that he is still doing recovery with the Chelsea attacker posting a picture of him in training gear and undergoing cold-compression therapy.

Chelsea boss Maresca also provided a positive update on Thursday, he said: "He's better. He's getting better. If he can walk and have dinner, that doesn't mean he is completely fit.

"He is getting better and we still have two days to prepare for the game. Hopefully, we can have him for a session, at least on Saturday, and then we take a decision."
