Chelsea's Sanchez Confirmed to Start Against Arsenal

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has confirmed that Robert Sanchez will start as goalkeeper for the Premier League match against Arsenal on Sunday, despite prior rotations between Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen due to inconsistent performances. Maresca stated that the plan is to keep Sanchez as the first-choice keeper for the remainder of the season, emphasizing the need for flexibility in team selection. Sanchez returns to the lineup after a brief period off following a mistake that cost Chelsea in a previous match against Manchester City. The matchup against Arsenal is crucial, as Chelsea aims to close the gap on the second-placed Gunners, who are currently six points ahead. Both teams will be without recognized strikers for the fixture, heightening the stakes for the match. Chelsea's recent success in the Conference League adds further context to their upcoming Premier League challenge.
