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

Forwards:

The biggest area for competition in this Chelsea side certainly comes in attack. Lampard has often stuck with players if they’ve performed well in the previous match and we feel like he will continue that trend in this match. That means Tammy Abraham, who scored twice against the Hammers, will start in front of Olivier Giroud, while Christian Pulisic and Timo Werner, despite having failed to score in his last nine matches, will take their place in the wide areas. Hakim Ziyech is still sidelined but the Blues will still have Callum Hudson-Odoi and club-record buy Kai Havertz in reserve.

Predicted Chelsea XI vs Arsenal: Mendy; Azpilicueta, Zouma, Silva, Emerson; Kovacic, Kante, Mount; Pulisic, Werner, Abraham.
