GK) Wojciech Szczesny
Despite a mistake and a red card in midweek, Szczesny remains Arsenal’s number one and seems likely to continue to start in the Premier League despite his imminent suspension in Europe.
DR) Calum Chambers
With Mathieu Debuchy out injured, youngster Calum Chambers should continue at right-back and faces the biggest test of his Arsenal career so far.
DL) Kieran Gibbs
After a fine game in midweek, Kieran Gibbs is certain to keep his place at left-back despite the return to fitness of Nacho Monreal.
DC) Per Mertesacker
First choice in central defence, Per Mertesacker should start for Arsenal here and should also captain the side in the absence of Mikel Arteta.
DC) Laurent Koscielny
Having struck a fine partnership with Mertesacker in recent times, Laurent Koscielny is certain to continue as the other first-choice centre-back here.
MC) Mathieu Flamini
With Mikel Arteta out injured, Mathieu Flamini should continue in the defensive midfield role for this game at Chelsea.
MC) Jack Wilshere
Despite a strong display from Santi Cazorla in a deeper role against Galatasaray, Jack Wilshere’s return from injury should see him get the nod here as he is the more defensively-minded player.
AMR) Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
After a goal against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend and a good performance against Galatasaray, it seems fair that in-form youngster Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain should keep his place on the right flank.
AML) Alexis Sanchez
Impressing with a goal and an assist on the left-hand side in the Champions League this week, Alexis Sanchez may have found his best position on this side and should continue there against Chelsea.
AMC) Mesut Ozil
A player slowly improving in form, Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil should continue to be given the chance to shine in his preferred number 10 role at Stamford Bridge.
FC) Danny Welbeck
After a hat-trick in midweek, Danny Welbeck should continue upfront for this big game and will be hoping to build on his fine recent form.
