Arsenal take on Chelsea in the Premier League, and Kai Havertz could be available.
The Gunners need to get the win against Liam Rosenior’s side after Manchester City won their game against Leeds United and closed the gap to two points.
Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 10 games against Chelsea, so they will go into Sunday’s clash as the favourites to win again.
Havertz’s potential return could make a serious difference.
Fill the blanks: On Sunday, the score will be Arsenal _ Chelsea _.
Kai Havertz is with the Arsenal team for the game against Chelsea
Kai Havertz has had a torrid season due to injuries.
The Germany international suffered a knee issue in the first game of the season and missed several months as a result. Just when he was scheduled to return, he suffered a setback and was sidelined for even longer.
Arsenal have had to be very careful with their management of Havertz’s load, and they slowly eased him back into the squad this year.
Sadly, Havertz suffered another injury and has not been available since the 3-0 win against Sunderland in the first week of February.
Mikel Arteta and Arsenal have missed the former Chelsea man, but there is finally some good news ahead of the game against his former club.
Club insider HandOfArsenal revealed late on Saturday night that Havertz is with the team ahead of the clash against Chelsea.
It remains to be seen now whether he will be included in the matchday squad.
“Kai Havertz has been included in the Arsenal squad for tomorrow. A decision will be made tomorrow on his selection for the official matchday teamsheet,” HandOfArsenal tweeted at 11:05 pm on Saturday night.

Kai Havertz’s record against Chelsea is incredible
Chelsea fans do not like Havertz, and his record against them explains why.
The former Bayer Leverkusen man has played five games against the Blues since he left them for the Emirates, and he has remained unbeaten, winning three and drawing two.
Havertz has also scored three goals in those five games, including a late winner the last time the two sides faced each other this season.
It is still unclear how much of a part Havertz will play if he is included in the matchday squad, but his return is definitely a huge boost.
We’re sure Chelsea fans will be worried about seeing Havertz score against them again.
