Mikel Arteta has experimented with a few players in forward positions in an attempt to make up for the lack of Kai Havertz or Gabriel Jesus due to injury. Mikel Merino seems to be the most trusted to lead the line but Calafiori has emerged as a surprise candidate and has a strong shot record this season.

Calafiori has had 10 shots across his 11 starts in the Premier League this season (0.97 per 90) resulting in two goals for the fullback. His aerial ability as well as his ability to take aim from distance as he showcased against Manchester City earlier in the season. Calafiori is likely to start at left back but don’t be surprised to see him join the frontline if Arsenal are chasing the game, increasing his chances of getting a shot off.

Calafiori’s chances of having a shot are aided by how strong Arsenal are from set pieces. The Gunners are averaging 7.92 corners per game at home this season whilst Chelsea are conceding 

There is decent value with this selection when backing with Bet365, the same market is priced at 1.36 on PaddyPower which suggests we’re getting decent value here for Calafiori to take aim at least once here.
