Bukayo Saka and William Saliba have been passed fit to start for Arsenal in their Premier League London derby against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Both players withdrew from international duty earlier this month, with Saka struggling with a hamstring problem and Saliba dealing with a chronic toe injury.

However, the duo have shaken off those concerns to make the first XI for Saturday's game, where Saka joins Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli in a menacing front three.

Ex-Chelsea man Jorginho holds his place in midfield over another former Blue in Kai Havertz, while Aaron Ramsdale is not involved after his wife gave birth to a baby boy.

Meanwhile, Mauricio Pochettino has made two changes to the Chelsea side that trounced Burnley 4-1 before the international break, as Mykhaylo Mudryk and Malo Gusto earn recalls to the first XI.

Gusto returns from suspension to displace Axel Disasi - who is only fit enough to make the bench alongside Reece James - while Mudryk is in for Nicolas Jackson following the striker's wrist operation.

Cole Palmer is given the green light to line up in the final third alongside Mudryk and Raheem Sterling - who will seemingly operate through the middle - while Benoit Badiashile is back among the substitutes after a thigh injury.
