Chelsea host Arsenal at Stamford Bridge on matchday 11 of the first division on Sunday at 4:30pm UK time. The rivals are very even in the league standings with 18 points each and are separated by only a goal difference.
The Blues will have the chance to move three points ahead of the Gunners and, after an 8-0 thrashing of Noah in the Europa Conference League on Thursday, will fancy their chances of a surprise. Mikel Arteta and his team.
Here's a look at the starting lineup that Enzo Maresca is likely to field.
goalkeeper – Filip Jorgensen played in the midweek match and will be replaced by Robert Sánchez in goal. Chelsea have not kept a clean sheet in five consecutive Premier League games, but that has not put the position of their main goalkeeper at risk.
Defenders – The entire backline that played against Noah on Thursday will be benched. Levi Colwill and Wesley Fofana will be Chelsea's central defenders, while the full-backs will be replaced by James Reece on the right and Marc Cucurella on the left.
Palmer and Sancho to start
Midfielders – Enzo Fernández is likely to be the only one to retain his place in the starting eleven. He will have to form a double pivot with Moisés Caicedo, who is in good form and rescued a point for Chelsea last weekend against manchester united.
Romeo Lavia will make way for Argentina international Fernandez in the league after he was benched at Old Trafford.
Cole Palmer's injury against United left him out of the Conference League clash but the Englishman could return to the fray against Arsenal. Enzo Maresca has eased concerns of serious injury and hopes to have Palmer available against the Gunners, so he should be deployed in Chelsea's number 10.
Jadon Sancho should also be fit start on the left flank after being ill for the last week, while Noni Madueke could be the hosts' right winger.
Forwards – Nicolas Jackson has been Chelsea's undisputed starter in the Premier League and will lead the line against Arsenal.
Here's what the Blues would look like on paper:
