Chelsea team news: Predicted line-up for Sunday’s London derby against Arsenal

RB: Reece James 

After missing out against Southampton we expect James to recover his place. What a revelation James has been, the young full-back has been given his chance by Lampard and he has grabbed it with both hands.

CB: Tomori 

Defensively will be where Lampard has his biggest decision to make ahead of the Arsenal clash. But we think he’ll stick with Tomori who has been a rock at the heart of the Chelsea defence for the majority of the season.

CB: Kurt Zouma

Been a regular under Lampard following many seasons away on loan from the London club. Zouma will hope to retain his place following a disappointing defensive display on Boxing Day.

LB: Cesar Azpilicueta

Known simply as ‘Dave’ amongst Chelsea fans, the club captain will be expected to find a place in the starting line-up whether that’s in a back three or four.
