Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Fulham, Martinelli starts

Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana has been ruled out for three games after developing concussion symptoms after the Carabao Cup third round win against Lincoln City on the road.

Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior will fly to Portugal today to discuss personal terms with FC Porto, after the Gunners accepted a bid of 20 million euros and 3.75 million more in installments for the Poland international defender. The former Spezia centre-back has fallen down the pecking order at the Emirates and manager Mikel Arteta has given the all clear for the defender’s departure.

Chelsea have already made an opening offer to sign Arsenal target Kenan Yildiz from Juventus, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
