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

CM: N’Golo Kante

Rotation to ensure high freshness, just doesn’t seem to be a problem for N’Golo Kante, with the World Cup winner seemingly able to run all day long. They’ll need his tenacity in the derby.

CM: Mateo Kovacic

Having started the win over Tottenham and rested during the Boxing Day loss to Southampton, Lampard may feel Kovacic is a vital cog in the Chelsea midfield.

AM: Mason Mount

Mount has been a major part of Lampard’s fresh, young British-heavy Chelsea team. He has played a lot of minutes this season, but didn’t start the game against Southampton and will be expected to be called back into the starting 11 come Sunday.

RF: Willian 

Willian has been in and out of Lampard’s starting XI, but we expect the Brazilian to keep his starting place away at the Emirates on Saturday.
