Chelsea predicted XI vs Arsenal: England full-backs expected to miss Arsenal clash

Defenders:

Reece James missed the match against West Ham due to injury while, on the other side, Ben Chilwell was withdrawn with an injury on just nine minutes. The England internationals are not expected to be fit for the Emirates meaning club-captain Cesar Azpilicueta and Brazilian left-back Emerson should start. At centre-back, Kurt Zouma and Thiago Silva, who scored his second Chelsea goal against West Ham, will continue their blossoming partnership.
