It’s derby day at Emirates Stadium! Chelsea travel to North London in favour of keeping their amazing streak against Arsenal running, as the Blues are unbeaten in nine successive Premier League games between the two London greats.
Antonio Conte is still missing out on captain John Terry, who injured his ankle against Swansea two weeks ago. Therefore, David Luiz will remain alongside Gary Cahill at the heart of Chelsea’s defence.
Cesc Fabregas finally makes his first Premier League start of the season, as the Spaniard made a huge statement to Conte to name him in the starting eleven after scoring a brace against Leicester City last Tuesday in Chelsea’s 4-2 win on EFL Cup’s 3rd round.
Here are the full team line-ups…
