Big Match: Chelsea vs Arsenal, 17 Sept 17
Chelsea have a chance to dominate the Premier League standings this week if Chelsea can win against Arsenal when both teams meet at Stamford Bridge.
Antonio Conte's side have recovered from an embarrassing defeat in Premier League first week against Burnley by winning four consecutive wins in all competitions this season.
The Blues have a better time in preparing the team for this match compared to the Gunners. Conte's rotation of the Champions League against Qarabag last week went smoothly. And predicted names such as David Luiz, Victor Moses and also Alvaro Morata will be re-entered into the starting line-up of the Blues in this big match. From the other side, the Gunners are doubtful to bring home 3 points from Stamford Bridge, with two defeats they get from Stoke City and Liverpool. But they have come out of the bitter defeat they received and showed a good improvement through their victory over Burnley at the Emirates and also a victory over Koln in the Europa League. The victory they endure against Chelsea will not only improve their position in the standings, but three points will also help them catch up in the competition to be the best in the Premier League this season. But if Arsenal really want to win, then Mesut Ozil and the other young gunners must play at the Blues level. Just like Chelsea, Arsenal also rotate as they faced Koln in their first Europa League match this week. Therefore, most likely the names of Petr Cech, Aaron Ramsey, Laurent Koscielny, Shkodran Mustafi and Alexandre Lacazette would be reenter to the main choice against Chelsea.
Chelsea:
Courtois; Cahill, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Alonso, Moses, Kante, Fabregas, Bakayoko, Pedro, Morata.
Arsenal:
Cech; Mustafi, Monreal, Koscielny, Bellerin, Kolasinac, Xhaka, Ramsey, Ozil, Sanchez, Lacazette.
