Arsenal Khedira
Here’s the side we think Jose Mourinho will select for the crunch match between Chelsea and Arsenal…
GK) Thibaut Courtois
The Belgian will start between the sticks, barring a late injury.
DR) Branislav Ivanovic
The Serbian is one of the first names on the team-sheet, and provides an impressive threat going forward in big matches.
DL) Cesar Azpilicueta
The Spaniard is likely to get the nod over Filipe Luis, as he hasn’t put a foot wrong all season.
DC) John Terry
The club captain will marshal the Chelsea back-line.
DC) Gary Cahill
The Terry/Cahill partnership is the best in the country, and it won’t be broken up such a huge fixture.
MC) Nemanja Matic
Matic will provide Chelsea with strength and dynamism in the centre. He’ll likely stay deep and be charged with disrupting Arsenal’s playmakers when they’re in possession.
MC) Cesc Fabregas
Chelsea fans will be desperate for their summer signing to punish his former club.
MC) Oscar
With Ramires injured, Oscar will likely start in midfield, but could play deeper than usual, as part of a three with Fabregas and Matic.
AMR) Willian
Because of his excellent work-rate, the Brazilian is likely to be selected on the right, with Andre Schurrle providing a goal threat from the bench.
AML) Eden Hazard
The league’s most exciting dribbler, Hazard will look to cause Arsenal’s young right-back Calum Chambers a world of problems down his flank.
FC) Diego Costa
The superstar striker has already notched eight Premier League goals this season.
