GK: Petr Cech 

The experienced and ever-reliable Czech Republic international will once again take his place between the sticks against the Gunners, who in turn will need to be at their very best in order to get the better of the shot stopper.

RB: Branislav Ivanovic

The powerful Serb has been one of the Blues’ most consistent performers at the back so far in this campaign, with the versatile defender now settled in at right back as opposed to the centre-back role he sometimes occupies for the west Londoners.

CB: Gary Cahill

The England international has been a rock-solid presence at the back so far this campaign for his side in partnership with skipper John Terry, although the central defender is sure to be tested to the full when the Gunners come to town on Saturday.

CB: John Terry

The former England international is currently enjoying one of his best seasons ever for the west London club, despite now being 33, and the imposing centre back will want to deliver another eye-catching campaign at the heart of the home team’s back line against arch-rivals Arsenal.

LB: Ceasr Azpilicueta

The converted right back will once again line up on the left-hand side of the Blues’ defence against the Gunners this weekend after ousting normal left-back Ashley Cole from the role earlier this season. 

RM: Frank Lampard

In the enforced absence of midfielder Ramires, the veteran England international should get the nod  to take his place on the right-hand side of a narrow midfield three.

CM: Nemanja Matic

The tall Serbia international has been an absolute revelation since returning to Stamford Bridge in the January transfer window, however, the holding midfielder is set to been a busy man though protecting the Chelsea back four against Arsenal’s front line on Saturday.

LM: Andre Schurrle

The German wide man should get the nod to start in midfield, especially in the absence of the suspended Willian, and what the home side would give for another hat-trick from the blond-haired winger on Saturday.
