Liverpool also rode their luck against Leipzig, though, and Arsenal can still put out a fearsome rearguard even without the influential Saliba. Avoiding defeat should be priority number one for the hosts on Sunday, where a dull draw is not beyond the realm of possibility.

As the top of the Premier League table condenses, Chelsea can end the weekend in the top four if they're able to protect their home pitch against a tricky Newcastle United side. The Blues sit seventh only three points behind Arsenal for a Champions League spot.
