Arsenal squad and team news
Mikel Arteta could land the Gunners' first silverware of the season if they get the better of their London rivals and with Chelsea likely to field a strong line-up, Arsenal should follow suit.
Defender Ben White remains a doubt after he was subbed off following a knock against Orlando, while Takehiro Tomiyasu, Bernd Leno, Emile Smith Rowe, Kieran Tierney and Alex Runarsson have minor niggles. New signing Fabio Vieira could make his debut after he returned to training a couple of days earlier.
Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard and Thomas Partey could all start after they joined the action from the bench against Orlando. Oleksandr Zinchenko, Arsenal's most recent summer signing, might not feature as the game is likely to come too soon for the Ukrainian.

Chelsea squad and team news
Thomas Tuchel has got a few injury concerns ahead of the match, with Timo Werner and Ross Barkley struggling with hamstring issues, while Cesar Azpilicueta and Kepa Arrizabalaga are also doubts.
New signing Kalidou Kouilbaly should make his debut against the Gunners, even if he is not given a start. Mason Mount and Kai Havertz were brought on from the bench against Charlotte but the duo should feature from the start in the final match of the Blues' US tour.
Raheem Sterling, meanwhile, should also make his first start for the club following his move from Manchester City. The England forward came on in the second half against Charlotte but is likely to be handed a spot in the starting XI against the Gunners.
