Predicted Chelsea lineup (4-3-3) vs Arsenal, Hazard and Pedro start

18 August 2018 - 15:14

Chelsea are at Stamford Bridge for today's Premier League showdown against Arsenal. The Blues started their campaign with a relatively comfortable 3-0 win over Huddersfield Town and they will now be aiming to maintain a winning run against their cross-town rivals.

  • Arsenal to swap Gabriel Jesus for Inter Milan star?
  • Arsenal leading race to sign Belgian midfielder

  • Formation: 4-3-3

    Predicted Lineup:

    Kepa Arrizabalaga had a comfortable debut against the Terriers where he had just one shot on target. The Spaniard should reclaim his position in goal without a doubt.

    In defence, Maurizio should stick with the combination from the previous weekend with Cesar Azpilcueta, David Luiz, Antonio Rudiger and Marcos Alonso making up the backline.

    In the midfield, Jorginho and N'Golo Kante are undisputed starters in the centre of the park and they should be accompanied by Ross Barkley with Mateo Kovacic still deemed to be lacking sufficient fitness.

    Further forward, Eden Hazard should make his first Blues start of the season on the left-wing and Pedro could feature on the opposite flank after bagging himself a goal versus the Terriers.

    Upfront, there has been plenty of criticism towards Alvaro Morata for his average showing but the Spaniard has got the trust vote from the manager. He should lead the line ahead of Olivier Giroud.
