Who will spearhead Arsenal's title charge and Chelsea's European push? See the predicted lineups for this crucial Emirates clash.
Arsenal and Chelsea will close out Matchweek 28 of the Premier League at the Emirates, aiming to claim three golden points.
The Gunners are top of the league and dreaming of the title, while the Blues will try to win on the road to put pressure on Manchester United in the race for a UEFA Champions League spot.
Chelsea's probable lineup (4-2-3-1)
GK: Robert Sanchez – The undisputed starter in goal. The Spanish goalkeeper has kept 10 clean sheets in his Premier League appearances this season for the Blues.
RB: Reece James – The captain returns to the right side of the defense after missing the matches against Wolves and Leeds due to a traumatic injury from which he is now fully recovered.
CB: Tosin Adarabioyo – He stands out mainly for his imposing physique and excellent ball playing. He has established himself as a composed and technical presence in the backline.
CB: Trevoh Chalobah – He is a mainstay in the starting lineup. The English center-back has missed only one match in this Premier League campaign and has scored three goals.
LB: Jorrel Hato – The 19-year-old fullback from Ajax will have the difficult task of replacing the injured Marc Cucurella.
CM: Moises Caicedo – The Ecuadorian engine in Rosenior's midfield will be in action again. He is another regular starter, having played 76% of the minutes. He has contributed to four goals in the Premier League: three goals and one assist.
CM: Andrey Santos – Rosenior successfully developed this 21-year-old Brazilian midfielder during his time at Racing Strasbourg and has given him consistent playing time at Chelsea.
RW: Pedro Neto – Power, speed, and unpredictability. One of the Blues' favorite weapons to unlock matches. He has five goals and three assists in 26 Premier League games.
AM: Cole Palmer – The team's most game-changing player is finding form after a start to the season that fell well below expectations, and in which he had to overcome several physical issues.
LW: Enzo Fernandez – The Argentine provides vision, the final pass, and goal threat. Increasingly involved in the team's offensive side. He has missed only one Premier League match, against Nottingham Forest last October, due to injury.
ST: Joao Pedro – With 10 goals in 26 matches, the Brazilian striker is Chelsea's top scorer in the Premier League so far this season.
