Antonio Conte’s men thrashed Brighton 4-0 in the premier league during the weekend and are now sitting on the third spot of the table.
Up next is the second leg of their League Cup clash with Arsenal.
The first leg ended in a goalless draw at Stamford Bridge a few days back, and we look forward to which among the London clubs would progress to the final of the competition.
And as far as Chelsea’s team news is concerned, defender Andrea Christensen picked a knock in their last match, and he isn’t expected to participate in the London Derby.
Since Gary Cahill is also battling with injury, we expect to see the trio of David Luiz, Antonio Rudiger and Cesar Azpilicueta in the back line, while Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois should take care of the sticks.
Fabregas and Drinkwater are not currently fit. So, both Bakayoko and Kante should take care of the centre of the park.
Up front, we can expect Eden Hazard to partner with Pedro Rodriguez to support Alvaro Morata
Here is Chelsea’s strongest possible 3-4-3 XI vs the gunners.
GK – Courtois
DC – Rudiger
DC – Luiz
DC – Azpilicueta
ML – Alonso
MC – Bakayoko
MC – Kante
MR – Moses
AC – Hazard
AC – Pedro
FC – Morata
