Fixture: Arsenal vs Chelsea
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 16:00 (UK time)
Chelsea have finalised their team to take on Arsene Wenger's Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in a Premier League contest this afternoon.
Blues manager Jose Mourinho has gone without a traditional striker against the Gunners, with Didier Drogba only earning a spot on the bench. Indeed, Eden Hazard, Willian, Oscar and Cesc Fabregas will be trusted to provide the goal threat for Chelsea today.
Nemanja Matic will aim to boss the midfield, while John Terry captains Chelsea from the heart of defence. On the bench for the Blues, along with Drogba, is Juan Cuadrado as an attacking option for Mourinho. Also on the bench is Kurt Zouma, in case another defender is needed.
Chelsea sit top of the Premier League table with a lead of nine points over second placed Manchester City, but two games in hand on the Citizens, and victory today would see the Blues place one hand on the league title.
Chelsea Team vs Arsenal
Courtois, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry (c), Azpilicueta, Matic, Fabregas, Ramires, Oscar, Willian, Hazard
Substitutes: Cech, Filipe Luis, Zouma, Mikel, Loftus-Cheek, Cuadrado, Drogba
