Dominic Solanke is set for his Premier League debut for Chelsea in the top-of-the-table clash with Arsenal this weekend.

The 17-year old striker, who has netted more than 30 goals for the Blues youth teams this term, is expected to start on the bench when the league leaders take on the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

Diego Costa is out with a hamstring injury and Loic Remy is battling a calf problem meaning Solanke could be thrown into the fray as an alternative to Didier Drogba who is likely to start.

Solanke made his Chelsea first team debut in the 6-0 Champions League thrashing of NK Maribor in October last year.
