Chelsea will welcome Arsenal at Stamford Bridge this Sunday as they try to secure a good result at home in the Premier League. The Blues recorded a 2-1 victory over Dynamo Zagreb in midweek, so they would be eager to put on a better showing versus the league leaders in this home encounter.
Graham Potter will set his team up in a 4-3-3 formation and could opt to make a few changes to his starting XI for this game. Pierre-Emerick Aubemayang will keep his place to lead the line against the opposition while Mason Mount starts on the left wing.
4-3-3 Chelsea Predicted XI Vs Arsenal
Defence
Eduoard Mendy will feature in between the sticks for the Blues after conceding a goal in his last appearance. Trevoh Chalobah will partner up with Kalidou Koulibaly in the heart of Chelsea’s defence as they try to keep things tidy at the back throughout the game.
Cesar Azpilicueta will fill in at right-back while Marc Cucurella hopes to give a good account of himself on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them would have to pick and choose their moments to join in on the attack while keeping their shape in defence.
Midfield
Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic will anchor the midfield for Chelsea as they look to get a stranglehold in the game at the centre of the park. The three of them will have to create decent opportunities in the final third and efficiently distribute possession.
Kai Havertz will be available for selection on the bench as he awaits his chance to make an impact in the second half if Potter decides to call upon his services.
Attack
Raheem Sterling will operate in the right-wing while Mason Mount hopes to produce an influential display on the left.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will spearhead Chelsea’s attack on his own up top. The Gabon international has to figure out a way to cause a few problems for the Arsenal defenders this Sunday.
Armando Broja will have to be content with a spot on the bench but might come on to influence the game in the final quarter if the Blues are in need of a goal by then.
