Having only gained one point from the last two premier league games and facing the humiliating defeat at the hands of Manchester City, Arsenal will look to bounce back against the Blues.
With Liverpool winning again, only a win will help gunners reclaim the top spot but that is easier said than done against Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea.
If Chelsea win, they will go joint top with Liverpool leaving Arsenal as low as 4th in the premier league.
As far as Arsenal team news is concerned, Arsene Wenger will have two vital players out, Wilshere with suspension and Koscielny due to injury.
Cazorla is likely to return to the starting XI in place of Jack to start on the left flank while captain Vermaelen will return to join Mertesacker in central defense.
Apart from that, expect 2 more changes to be made by Wenger. Monreal and Flamini were pathetic versus the Citizens and are likely to be replaced by Gibbs and Arteta respectively.
Here is Arsenal’s probable starting XI vs Chelsea.

My line up is chesny sagna bfg tv5 gibbs flamini ramsy walcot carzola rosickybendtner rest subs giroud arteta ozil fabiansky genarby
My line up is the best. Pls wenger look @ it.
Sczesny flamini mertesacker sagna gibbs arteta ramsey walcott carzolar ozil giroud. Subs: fabianski monreal, jenkinson, rosicky, podolski gnabry and bendtner. In my own, i can see this squad as arsenal‘s no 1 if not with koscielny. Why i start flamini @right back? Is because he plays @left back for 6months in 2005/2006 season. And why sagna started not verminator? Coz he prove it against sunderland and fenerbahche. What did u guys see about my prediction?
I believe Poldoski will deal better with Ivanovic on the left, will anyone can have a bad game, so i prefer he went with Flamini over Artera his yobalow to face the cChrlaea midfield imo
Arsenal will win 2-1
