Arsenal Beware – Chelsea Strongest XI to face Gunners

Nemanja Matic ChelseaArsenal are only 4 points behind league leaders Chelsea with a game in hand but the Blues will hold stronger cards as the game is at Stamford Bridge.
The two sides fought out a 0-0 draw at the Emirates earlier in the season but Mourinho’s men will come firing knowing that they cannot really afford to drop more points in the title race as they already did last weekend against Villa.
Yes, Blues will be without 2 key players in Willian and Ramires but Arsenal must beware of their opponents strength in depth.
If Chelsea play anywhere as good as they played against Galatasaray in the Champions league then Arsenal can forget about winning on Saturday.
A win for Chelsea may as well end Arsenal’s title hopes.
Will Salah get his first Chelsea start, we shall see else Schurrle should be considered favorite to replace Willian on the right.
On the other hand, Lamaprd will come in place of Ramires to partner Matic in central midfield. Eto’o should retain his starting place after fantastic outing against the Turkish side.
Here is Chelsea’s strongest XI to face Gunners.

    I would move Oscar out to the right (in place of Schurrle) and bring Lampard forward to the position you have allocated to Oscar.
    That would leave room for Luiz to come in alongside Matic.
