Confirmed line-ups: Chelsea vs Arsenal – Bellerin starts for Gunners
Arsenal desperately need a win when we take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this evening.
Mikel Arteta has given Hector Bellerin a recall to the starting eleven after he returned to full fitness following a hamstring injury. Bukayo Saka keeps his place at left-back with Sead Kolasinac and Kieran Tierney out injured.
Mesut Ozil keeps his place in the Arsenal attack while Nicolas Pepe once again lines-up on the right-wing and Alexandre Lacazette leads the line up front. Gabriel Martinelli starts on the left with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang still suspended.
Sokratis is still out ill so Shkodran Mustafi keeps his place alongside David Luiz with Rob Holding on the bench.
These are the teams for the game:
Chelsea
Kepa, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Christensen, Emerson; Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic; Hudson-Odoi, Abraham, Willian.
Subs: Alonso, Barkley, Pedro, Caballero, Zouma, Mount, Batshuayi
Arsenal
Leno; Bellerin, Mustafi, Luiz, Saka; Xhaka, Torreira; Pepe, Ozil, Martinelli; Lacazette
