Arsenal team news: Ozil dropped? Predicted line-up in London derby versus Chelsea

DM: Matteo Guendouzi

Was given a rest against Bournemouth mid-week but is expected to be recalled to help combat a strong and competitive Chelsea midfield three.

CM: Granit Xhaka

We predict Arteta to name three defensive players in midfield in hope of nullifying the Chelsea threat, meaning Xhaka should hold his place despite underperforming for most of the season.

CM: Lucas Torreira

New boss Arteta will be hoping Torreira can be the legs in the Arsenal midfield three, preventing their opponents from keeping the ball and joining attacks when he can.
