Chelsea fell to defeat at the hands of London rivals Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon. Mikel Merino opened the scoring for the Gunners, flicking a corner past Robert Sanchez to put Mikel Arteta's side in the lead early in the first half.

Chelsea will be without England star Cole Palmer for their Premier League clash against Arsenal on Sunday. Palmer has endured a frustrating period following another impressive start to the season, failing to score in his last ten appearances in all competitions.

Enzo Maresca expects Cole Palmer to miss England's World Cup qualifiers after suffering a "muscular injury" which will require a scan on Monday.
