Arsenal suffered their second home defeat of the Premier League campaign at the hands of Watford on Tuesday night. Tomorrow, they face league leaders Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
After more than a few disappointing performances, Wenger must revert back to his old system and once again utilize Alexis Sanchez as the lone center forward up front in place of Giroud. The Les Bleus striker might not be fit to face the Blues (The Times)
Spanish international Hector Bellerin should return to the starting XI in place of Brazilian defender Gabriel Paulista.
Welsh star Aaron Ramsey and Santi Cazorla are out injured, Granit Xhaka is suspended and Mohamed Elneny is still on international duty. In such a scenario, it will not come as any surprise if Arsene starts Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the center of the park with Francis Coquelin.
As far as the attack is concerned, Theo Walcott will probably return to partner Alex Iwobi and Mesut Ozil behind Alexis Sanchez.
Here is Arsenal’s probable 4-2-3-1 XI vs Chelsea.
