The Blues are still the only team unbeaten across all competitions but the pressure will be on them to come away with three points when they make the trip to the Wembley to face an in-form Tottenham side.

Team News

Mateo Kovacic is slightly doubtful to feature in the starting eleven on Saturday due to a muscular injury while Marco van Ginkel and Ethan Ampadu are ruled out with injuries. Maurizio Sarri is not expected to make too many changes to the team that drew against Fulham in the last outing.

Formation: 4-3-3

Manager: Maurizio Sarri

1. Kepa Arrizabalaga (GK)

The Spaniard has kept six clean sheets in the Premier League so far and will need to be at the top of his game on Saturday.

2. Cesar Azpilicueta (RB)

The veteran has barely put a foot wrong this season and has always been solid at the back.

3. Antonio Rudiger (CB)

The German international has been one of the standout performers for the Blues this season and will have his work cut out against Harry Kane.

4. David Luiz (CB)

He has established a solid partnership in the heart of Chelsea’s defence alongside Rudiger and Sarri should continue to rely on him.

5. Marcos Alonso (LB)

He showed in the previous game against Everton why he is one of the best attacking full-backs in the world and Sarri needs him to come up with a quality end product on Saturday.

6. Jorginho (CDM)

His flawless passing, immaculate distribution and game-reading ability are invaluable assets to the Blues in the midfield.

7. N’Golo Kante (RCM)

The Frenchman continues to be one of the pivots of Chelsea’s midfield and has shown strong signs of promise in his new attacking role this season.

8. Ross Barkley (LCM)

The English international has been in terrific form in recent weeks and his ability to chip in with valuable strikes can prove to be handy for the Blues.

9. Eden Hazard (LW)

He is Chelsea’s indispensable weapon in the final third and Sarri will be looking up to him to propel the team to a victory over Spurs.

10. Willian (RW)

The Brazilian has raised his game in recent weeks and Sarri should hand him a start ahead of Pedro.

11. Olivier Giroud (ST)

Morata struggled in the last game against Everton and is likely to be outmuscled by Davinson Sanchez and Toby Alderweireld on Saturday, which should prompt Sarri to field the Frenchman in the starting line up.

Click here to Join the whatsapp group for all ARSENAL NEWS Unai Emery admitted that he did not know whether Mesut Ozil had even attended Arsenal's 4-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur yesterday, as the German midfielder missed out with an apparent back injury. Ozil was not in the Arsenal squad, having missed the trip to Ukraine this week, and it was claimed by Arsenal sources that he had suffered a recurrence of a back spasm. Ozil had missed Arsenal's game at Fulham on October 7 because of a similar complaint. This fresh back spasm had occurred just days after Ozil was left as an unused substitute for the 2-1 win at Bournemouth. Asked repeatedly about Ozil in his post-match press conference at the Emirates, Emery said that Ozil "has back ache" when asked why he could not play. Asked when Ozil suffered this problem, Emery said that he "did not know". Then asked whether Ozil had even attended the game at the Emirates, Emery said he "did not know". Now fo...

Transfer Talk:Arsenal 'eyeing £53m Kalidou Koulibaly swoop'

Image
Arsenal are reportedly lining up a £53m deal to sign defender Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli this summer. The Gunners face a summer of change with Arsene Wenger stepping down as manager after 22 years following a campaign which has seen them post their lowest finish and lowest points tally under the Frenchman. Arsenal ended the season with the worst defensive record in the top seven and their own highest number of goals conceded since 1983-84, and so have been looking for defensive reinforcements to bolster their back line next term. The Express reports that the club have identified centre-back Koulibaly as an ideal option to shore up the heart of their defence, which has also been left weakened by a long-term injury to Laurent Koscielny and the retirement of Per Mertesacker. However, Arsenal would face stiff competition for the signature of Koulibaly, who has also been linked with Chelsea and Barcelona. The North London outfit are otherwise understood to be considering a move for ...
