\n

Chelsea will entertain Arsenal at Stamford Bridge this Sunday as they look to secure a good result at home in the Premier League. The Blues managed to secure a solid 3-0 win over Barcelona recently, which should keep them in high spirits ahead of this game.<\/p>\n

Enzo Maresca will set his men up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make some changes to his first team for this clash. Jamie Gittens and Joao Pedro could both get a chance to impress from the start of this London derby versus the Gunners.<\/p>\n

Defence<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Robert Sanchez will operate in goal for the West London club after he kept a clean sheet in his last outing. Wesley Fofana will function alongside Trevoh Chalobah at the heart of Maresca\u2019s defence as they focus on keeping a good shape on the defensive end of the field.<\/p>\n

Malo Gusto will try to put in a good display as the right-back, while Marc Cucurella looks to prove his worth on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will have to perform their defensive duties well before they try to offer some support to their teammates up top.<\/p>\n

Josh Acheampong will be named on the bench as he provides cover for the centre-back positions.<\/p>\n

Midfield<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Moises Caicedo will anchor the midfield along with Reece James as they focus on making life tough for the opposition at the centre of the park.<\/p>\n

The talented trio of Jamie Gittens, Enzo Fernandez and Pedro Neto will play just ahead of them as part of the Chelsea<\/a> attack. All three of them need to link up play well if the West London club are to come out on top this weekend.<\/p>\n

Estevao, Andrey Santos and Alejandro Garnacho will have to be content with a spot on the bench and might come on to impress in the second half if needed.<\/p>\n

Attack<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Joao Pedro will lead the charge for the Blues in the final third. He would be keen on getting his name on the scoresheet and making a difference for Chelsea in this London derby.<\/p>\n

Tyrique George and Marc Guiu will be named on the bench as they wait for their chance to make an impact in the final quarter of the game if required.<\/p>\n
