This is the Chelsea confirmed lineup for their Premier League clash with Arsenal as part of the early double header on Sunday.

With the international break coming up this is a last chance for the squad to go all out before a two-week stint on the international stage.

Chelsea Team News
Rob Sanchez starts in goal behind a back line of Wesley Fofana, Benoit Badiashile, Levi Colwill, and Marc Cucurella. Reece James partners Moises Caicedo in the deeper midfield spots with Enzo Fernandez pushed forward as Jadon Sancho, Christopher Nkunku, and Pedro Neto form the trio around him.
Filip Jorgensen is on the bench alongside Marcus Bettinelli, Tosin Adarabioyo, Trevoh Chalobah, Malo Gusto, Josh Ahceampong, Romeo Lavia, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and Tyrique George.
Chelsea Lineup: Sanchez, Fofana, Badiashile, Colwill, Cucurella, James, Caicedo, Enzo, Sancho, Nkunku, Neto
Notable Changes
No Cole Palmer is the big sign as he isn’t on the bench. This does allow for a more compact defensive midfield pairing of James and Caicedo with Enzo allowed to play in the attacking midfield role. Nkunku will likely invert a little to make Cucurella the de-facto left winger in a formation that will end up as a 3-2-4-1 with Fofana, Badiashile, Colwill being a natural, ball-playing, physical back three.
Arsenal Team News
Raya, Timber, Lewis-Skelly, Saliba, Gabriel, Partey, Odegaard, Rice, Martinelli, Merino Trossard
