Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has hinted Eddie Nketiah could start in Tuesday's Premier League clash against Chelsea.

Arsenal visit Chelsea aiming to bridge a 10-point gap to their fourth-placed rivals, with the Gunners having won just one of Arteta's five league games in charge since he took over as manager from sacked Unai Emery.

And with Aubameyang serving the second game of a three-match ban on Tuesday, Nketiah could be the man called on to help the Gunners seize their chance.

Asked about Nketiah ahead of the game, Gunners boss Arteta said: "Every player has a chance to start. He is in the squad.

"We will assess who is in best conditions to play in who is training well and we'll make the decision based on that."
