As Stamford Bridge prepares to see battle between West and North London giants, we put together a combined XI of epic proportions.
Goalkeeper – Thibaut Courtois
Belgian takes the spot between the sticks from Petr Cech, but only just.
Left-Back – Cesar Azpilicueta
The Blues defender may not have been at his best this season but is still the man for the left-back spot.
Centre-Back – John Terry
Another player who hasn’t covered himself in glory this term but the Chelsea skipper gets the nod.

Central Midfield – Santi Cazorla
We select Cazorla for a central midfield berth ahead of fellow countryman Cesc Fabregas.
Defensive Midfield – Nemanja Matic
Serbian holding midfielder gets in ahead of Francis Coquelin.
Left-Wing – Eden Hazard
The talented Belgian has come in for a lot of flak of late but is still without doubt one of the best players in the Premier League.
Attacking Midfield – Mesut Ozil
We opt for the German international to fill a spot behind a striker, Ozil was inspired during Arsenal’s recent win over Stoke City.
Right-Wing – Pedro
Recently signed Spaniard takes the right-wing spot.
Striker – Diego Costa
Though the powerful Chelsea forward has had a mixed time of it the Brazilian born Spanish international’s magical strike against Maccabi Tel Aviv sees Costa edge out Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott to lead our combined attack.
