Pedro Neto’s strike cancelled out Gabriel Martinelli’s opener as Arsenal were held to a dramatic 1-1 draw at Chelsea on Sunday.
The Gunners are now winless in four Premier League games as their bid for a first title since 2004 is at risk of unravelling.
Enzo Maresca’s side were boosted in the London Derby as Cole Palmer was declared fit to start against Mikel Arteta’s side.
His strike from 25 yards was brilliantly tipped over by David Raya.
The home side were creating the better chances, as Noni Madueke glanced a header wide at the far post before Malo Gusto missed the best opportunity of the half.

Neto’s cross picked out the full-back but only placed his header over the crossbar from inside the penalty area.
Arsenal, who had Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice back in the starting XI, grew into the half and Martinelli’s shot was kept out by Robert Sanchez, before the Gunners thought they had the lead.
Chelsea switched off as Rice’s quick free-kick released Kai Havertz into the penalty area and the former Chelsea forward finished into the bottom corner.
However, Arsenal’s celebrations were cut short after a VAR check correctly ruled the goal out for offside against the Gunners striker.
Both sides pushed for a winner and the best chance fell to Arsenal.
Odegaard’s pass released Saliba into an advanced position and the defender’s cut back picked out Trossard inside the six-yard box.
