Cesc vs Ozil & the Battles to Decide Chelsea vs Arsenal

Cesc Fabgreas spent eight long years at Arsenal and became the player he is right now but the relation with gunner supporters is ruined now that he is a Chelsea blue.
Cesc did want to re-join Arsenal but as Wenger claimed, his place was taken by their record signing Mesut Ozil.
Here are the key positional battles that may decide the outcome of Chelsea vs Arsenal.
Cesc vs Ozil
Ozil is renowned as the King of Assists, mainly for his Madrid days but for now Fabregas leads the assists chart with 6 to his name in the premier league this season and is in red hot form.
The German international started the new season with below par performances but has hit form at the right time to face his former boss Jose Mourinho at the Bridge. Who will come out on top? We shall see.
Terry vs Mertesacker
Since Arteta is out injured, this game will be captained by two experienced center backs, Terry and Mertesacker.
The retired England international only extended his contract for a year but still plays at the optimum level. Mertesacker has been strong at the back as well but Arsenal’s defense has been troubled because they lack a strong holding midfielder like Chelsea have in Matic.
Costa vs Welbeck
Premier league’s leading scorer Deigo Costa is unstoppable at the moment and has only gone one game without scoring, against City. No doubt he will be the favorite to score again.
Welbeck scored a brilliant hat-trick in midweek against Galatasaray and showed that if provided right service, he will finish the chances. Can he overshadow Costa on the day? Only time will tell.
