GK: David Ospina
Arsenal’s number one for Premier League games, David Ospina should be back in goal in the place of Wojciech Szczesny in this big game.
DR: Hector Bellerin
An impressive young right-back, Hector Bellerin is sure to be back in the team again after an unconvincing display from Mathieu Debuchy against Reading.
DL: Nacho Monreal
Another change from the FA Cup, Nacho Monreal should start at left-back for Arsenal in place of Kieran Gibbs.
DC: Gabriel
With some doubts over Per Mertesacker, who went off injured against Reading, Gabriel may be in line for a start for Arsenal against Chelsea.
DC: Laurent Koscielny
A key starter for Arsenal, Laurent Koscielny should line up alongside Gabriel and will need to show his experience and quality in this big match at the Emirates.
MC: Francis Coquelin
A rock-solid defensive midfielder, Francis Coquelin has had a great season for the Gunners and will face one of his biggest tests here.
MC: Aaron Ramsey
Moved into a deeper role after starting on the right against Reading, Aaron Ramsey would perhaps be better suited to playing centrally against the Blues.
AMR: Alexis Sanchez
Starting on the right-hand side, Alexis Sanchez will certainly have plenty of freedom to roam for Arsenal and will be given the licence to do whatever he can to hurt Chelsea.
AML: Santi Cazorla
Moved onto the left-hand side of this attacking midfield three, Santi Cazorla will be a key performer for Arsene Wenger’s side for the visit of Chelsea.
AMC: Mesut Ozil
A player who needs to influence a big game to follow up his dominant display against Liverpool, Mesut Ozil will be hoping to shine against Chelsea this weekend.
FC: Olivier Giroud
Benched against Reading, Olivier Giroud is sure to replace Danny Welbeck upfront after the England man’s poor display at Wembley.
