Arsenal predicted line up for weekend Chelsea clash.
Here’s our Arsenal predicted line up for Saturday’s early kick off against Chelsea, with Arsene Wenger set to bring back a number of first-teamers after resting them in the midweek defeat to Dinamo Zagreb…
GK: Petr Cech
Returning to Stamford Bridge for the first time since he left Chelsea in the summer, Petr Cech will certainly be back in goal for Arsenal this weekend after being strangely rested against Dinamo Zagreb in midweek.
DR: Hector Bellerin
Arsenal’s first choice right-back, Hector Bellerin is sure to take his place on the right-hand side of the back four in this big game.
DL: Nacho Monreal
Rested against Zagreb, Nacho Monreal is sure to be back in the Arsenal starting line up for this important match after a strong run of form.

Arsenal transfer news
DC: Gabriel
Hugely impressive since coming into the team this season, Gabriel is likely to be in Wenger’s line up against Chelsea as the Gunners look to deal with the threat of Diego Costa.
DC: Laurent Koscielny
An important part of Arsenal’s defence, Laurent Koscielny will need a big game this weekend if they are to end their poor record against the Blues.
MC: Francis Coquelin
With Mikel Arteta performing so poorly after returning to the starting line up in midweek, youngster Francis Coquelin is sure to take his defensive midfield role back against Chelsea.
MC: Santi Cazorla
Arsenal’s main playmaker, Santi Cazorla will have a major role to play against Chelsea and will need to escape the attentions of Nemanja Matic in front of the opposition back four.
AMR: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
So impressive in the Community Shield win over Chelsea in August, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could be a good option on the right again this weekend, especially if he’s up against new-boy Baba Rahman.
AML: Alexis Sanchez
Not yet at his best this season, there is still little chance of Alexis Sanchez losing his place in the Arsenal team as he can change big games like this in an instant.
AMC: Aaron Ramsey
Finally playing in his preferred role, Aaron Ramsey could come in for Mesut Ozil after being rested in midweek, and may be more useful than the German in a difficult and physical game such as this one.
FC: Theo Walcott
Certainly ahead of Olivier Giroud at the moment, Theo Walcott completes our Arsenal predicted line up after continuing his run in front of goal in the loss to Zagreb on Wednesday.
