Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that the club will be without star midfielder Cesc Fabregas for the trip to local rivals Chelsea this weekend. Fabregas sustained a hamstring injury against Sunderland a fortnight ago and has already missed the Gunners’ games against Tottenham, West Brom and Partizan Belgrade.
Wenger had rated Fabregas as 50-50 for the clash but has now announced that the Spanish star will have no role to play in the tie at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

Utrecht 0-0 Liverpool
Liverpool can consider themselves a tad fortunate after coming out of Utrecht with a point.
Michael Silberbauer and Dries Mertens both went close for Utrecht, who also had a late penalty shout denied.
