(Image): Lukaku and Kante start, Strongest Predicted Chelsea line-up [3-4-1-2] vs Arsenal
Chelsea make the trip to the Emirates Stadium for Sunday’s Premier League clash against Arsenal.
The Blues registered a comfortable 3-0 win over Crystal Palace in the opening matchday.
Their recent record in the derby has not been great, but they can be considered favourites for this one.
The Gunners could be without eight players for the game which is a huge blow for them.
The Blues have the chance to beat the Gunners for the first time since December 2019.
How Chelsea could line up against Arsenal
Edouard Mendy is an undisputed choice in goal for the Blues. He is expected to start.
Trevoh Chalobah should keep his place after an excellent league debut with a goal.
Andreas Christensen could make way for Thiago Silva to partner the club graduate and Antonio Rudiger.
Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso seem certain to feature in the wing-back spots.
N’Golo Kante recently missed the Palace clash with a minor muscle injury.
He has since returned to training and could partner Jorginho in the centre of the park.
Hakim Ziyech is also available for selection after making a quick recover after a should dislocation.
However, he may have to settle for a bench role in the London derby. We are fancying Romelu Lukaku to make his second debut up front alongside Timo Werner.
Kai Havertz could take up the creative attacking midfield position behind the duo.
