Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz Attend as Arsenal Edge Chelsea 1-0 at Emirates

Arsenal's injured duo, Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz, were present at the Emirates Stadium today to support their team in a crucial Premier League match against Chelsea.

Both players are currently sidelined due to hamstring injuries. Saka is making "very good progress" in his recovery and is expected to return to competitive training soon. Havertz underwent surgery for his hamstring injury and is anticipated to be out until pre-season.

In the match, Arsenal secured a 1-0 victory over Chelsea, keeping their slim title hopes alive. The decisive goal came in the 20th minute when midfielder Mikel Merino, stepping in as a stand-in striker due to injuries, headed in a Martin Ødegaard corner. This goal not only highlighted Arsenal's set-piece proficiency but also marked Ødegaard's fifth Premier League assist against Chelsea, surpassing club legends Cesc Fabregas and Dennis Bergkamp for the most assists against the Blues. 

Despite Chelsea's efforts, they struggled offensively, particularly with the absence of key attackers like Cole Palmer. Their best chance came in the 37th minute when Marc Cucurella's volley narrowly missed the target. Arsenal's goalkeeper, David Raya, also had a momentary lapse but recovered without conceding. 

This victory ends Arsenal's four-game winless streak and solidifies their second-place position in the Premier League, now trailing leaders Liverpool by 12 points with nine matches remaining. Chelsea remains in fourth place, focusing on securing Champions League qualification.
