Chelsea kept their first clean sheet of the season against Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Champions League contest last night and they did it without the first choice right back Branislav Ivanovic and captain John Terry.
Can the Blues earn their first clean sheet of the Premier League against rivals Arsenal on Saturday? We shall see.
As far as the team news is concerned, PhysioRoom suggests that star striker Radamel Falcao should be fit for the game vs the Gunners. However, it is highly likely that Costa will start as the lone striker up front.
Baba Rahman made his debut against Tel Aviv and was impressive on the night. It will not come as a surprise if Ivanovic is left out of the starting XI against Arsenal. John Terry will probably return to partner Gary Cahill in central defense.
Pedro and Willian will miss (Sky Sports) the game and Ramires may start on the right hand side of attack. Here is Chelsea’s probable starting XI vs Arsenal.
