EPL: Chelsea possible lineup against Arsenal
London will witness a big match tonight as Chelsea and Arsenal are about to face off in a thrilling battle on boxing day with both clubs eager to prove a point.
Chelsea in the past few days have become the most consistent team in London but Tottenham have been able to put up an impressive performance.
However, this week is not about Tottenham as they’ve already played Chelsea, a match which ended in a goalless draw. Chelsea will be facing Arsenal on boxing day and we’ve decided to share the Blues possible lineup ahead of the tie that will be a must watched.
Starting from the goalkeeping department, there is nothing stopping Eduardo Mendy from starting as he has ensured that Kepa remain the second choice goalkeeper through his performance.
The backline will see some changes as Recce James and Ben Chilwell being on injury means both players might not be starting with Cesar Azpilicueta and Emerson replacing them.
Both players will be supported by Kurt Zouma and Thiago Silva who have formed a great partnership with one another. The midfielders likely to start the match are N’Golo Kante, Mason Mount and Kai Havertz as Lampard will be eager to have his strong players back in the team.
Though Kai Havertz has not been having the best start to his Chelsea career but Frank Lampard will be having the Germany international back in the squad.
Upfront, Chelsea might be having the combination of Timo Werner, Christian Pulisic and Tammy Abraham. Oliver Giroud will have to settle for a place on the bench as Werner will be eager to end his nine goals drought against an Arsenal squad currently going through a tough phase.
