Arsenal vs Chelsea lineups

The striker hasn’t featured from the off since the return fixture at the start of November. The other fresh face is Noni Madueke, who makes his first start for two-and-a-half months.

Conor Gallagher and Trevoh Chalobah are the two players who make way, with Lampard’s selection suggesting we will revert to a 4-3-3 shape. Cesar Azpilicueta, Wesley Fofana, Thiago Silva and Ben Chilwell retain their places, as do the midfield trio of N’Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic and Enzo Fernandez.

Raheem Sterling joins Madueke and Aubameyang in attack.

Arsenal make three changes, with Jorginho among those to come in. The other new players are Jakub Kiwior and Leandro Trossard.
