Max [Dowman] will play some minutes tonight with under-21s, Kai [Havertz] will train tomorrow and Ben [White], let’s see.’\n\nTo view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video\n\nUp Next\n\nPrevious Page\n\nNext Page\n\n## Your football fix\n\n**Metro** 's Head of Sport James Goldman delivers punchy analysis, transfer talk and his take on the week's biggest stories direct to your inbox every week.\n\nSign up here, it's an open goal.\n\nChelsea, meanwhile, sit fifth in the Premier League after their 1-1 draw at home to Burnley last Saturday.\n\nEarlier this month, Arsenal sealed a 1-0 win at home to Chelsea in the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final and Arteta is unsure whether Rosenior will adopt a similar approach to the game.\n\n‘We don’t know, I mean, they’ve done different things, they can change throughout the game,’ Arteta said.\n\n‘They have the players and they have a manager who is very comfortable doing that, so we’re prepared, we’re going to be prepared for the possible scenarios that we can face throughout the game, and try to do better than them.’\n\n**For more stories like this,check our sport page**.\n\n**Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on**Facebook, **Twitter and Instagram**.\n\nComment now Comments Add Metro as a Preferred Source on Google Add as preferred source ",
