How Arsenal could line up against Chelsea

Sports Mole looks at how Arsenal could line up for their Premier League London derby against fellow top-four hopefuls Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal will look to get their top-four hopes back on track when they face London rivals Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Gunners slumped to a 1-0 defeat at West Ham United last weekend, leaving them six points adrift of this weekend's opponents in the race for the Champions League places.

However, Arsenal are now back at home, where they have won eight and lost none of their last 10 league games, and know that victory this weekend would cancel out such a disappointing result in their last outing.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how Unai Emery could set his side up for the capital city derby.



Out: Henrikh Mkhitaryan (foot), Rob Holding (knee), Danny Welbeck (ankle)
Doubtful: None

Mesut Ozil was a noticeable absentee from the matchday squad against West Ham, with Emery implying after the game that the German had not done enough to deserve to be selected.

Ozil's place this weekend is therefore in serious doubt, although he may have a better chance of featuring should Emery switch formation.

Arsenal's defensive concerns have at least eased of late, and Hector Bellerin should be fit to return to the starting lineup after only managing a substitute appearance against the Hammers.

Lucas Torreira may also come back into the side in place of Matteo Guendouzi, although there are unlikely to be wholesale changes despite such a poor performance last time out.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan is nearing a return from his foot injury, but this match will come too soon for the attacker.
