Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Arsenal could line up for Sunday's pre-season friendly with Chelsea

Arsenal summer signing Fabio Vieira could be fit to make his debut for the club in their pre-season clash against Chelsea on Sunday.

The 22-year-old, who has joined the Gunners from Porto for around £35m, arrived at the club with a foot injury which he sustained while representing Portugal's Under-21s at the end of last season.

However, Vieira has now returned to first-team training and could be called upon by Mikel Arteta to feature against Chelsea if he passes a fitness test ahead of kickoff.

Fellow summer recruits Gabriel Jesus, Matt Turner and Marquinhos have all featured under Arteta in pre-season – the former of whom scoring three goals in as many matches – and all three players are set to play some part in Florida.

Emile Smith Rowe, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney have all missed Arsenal's last two games due to injury and have not taken part in training, so the trio are unlikely to be involved against the Blues.

William Saliba, Ben White and Gabriel Magalhaes will all be battling to start at centre-back, with two of these three potentially replacing Rob Holding and Pablo Mari in the first XI.

The likes of Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard and Thomas Partey began on the bench against Orlando City on Thursday, but they could all be handed starts this time around.

Arsenal are on the verge of completing the signing of Oleksandr Zinchenko from Manchester City, but Sunday's game may come too soon for the Ukraine international.

Arsenal possible starting lineup: Ramsdale; Cedric, White, Gabriel, Tavares; Xhaka, Partey; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Jesus
