Fixture: Chelsea vs Arsenal
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 13:30 (UK time)

Arsenal have officially named their line-up and substitutes to take on Chelsea in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge this afternoon.

The Gunners were in Europa League action on Thursday evening and played out a 3-1 win over Bundesliga side 1.FC Koln, however boss Arsene Wenger rested a number of regulars.




Wenger is without midfielder Francis Coquelin, who has a hamstring problem, while Santi Cazorla remains out of action. Arsenal are also without Mesut Ozil, who has a knee issue.

The Arsenal manager has Petr Cech between the sticks, while Shkodran Mustafi, Laurent Koscielny and Nacho Monreal are the back three. Hector Bellerin and Sead Kolasinac operate as wing-backs, while Granit Xhaka and Aaron Ramsey sit in midfield. Alex Iwobi and Alexandre Lacazette are behind striker Danny Welbeck.

If the French tactician needs to try to change the game at any point, he can bring on Alexis Sanchez, with Olivier Giroud also available.
