Confirmed line-ups as Palmer, Rice & Odegaard start


We have a huge London Derby to look forward to as Chelsea take on Arsenal at Stamford Bridge this afternoon.

The Blues have enjoyed a solid start to the season under Enzo Maresca and they can move back into the top four with a win today. Robert Sanchez returns in goal as Maresca makes several changes from the side that won in the Europa Conference League on Thursday night.

Malo Gusto returns at right-back while Wesley Fofana, Levi Colwill and Marc Cucurella also get recalls in the Chelsea defence having been rested in midweek.

Enzo Fernandez is dropped to the bench with Romeo Lavia preferred alongside Moises Caicedo in midfield. Cole Palmer is fit to start after recovering from a knock while Pedro Neto and Noni Madueke are recalled to start on the wings. Nicolas Jackson leads the line up front for Chelsea with Joao Felix and Christopher Nkunku on the bench.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has also made some changes from the side that lost 1-0 away to Inter Milan in the Champions League on Wednesday night. David Raya starts once again in goal while the back four remains unchanged with Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes and Jurrien Timber all keeping their places.

Arsenal have been handed a major boost as Declan Rice is fit to return to the starting eleven after missing the trip to Italy in midweek. Martin Odegaard also returns to the side after making a late cameo appearance off the bench against Inter having recovered from an ankle injury.

Thomas Partey also starts once again for the Gunners with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli on the wings. Kai Havertz is fit to start against his former side

Here are the confirmed line-ups:

Chelsea

Sanchez; Gusto, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella; Lavia, Caicedo; Madueke, Palmer, Neto; Jackson

Subs: Jorgensen, Badiashile, Tosin, Veiga, James, Enzo, Mudryk, João Felix, Nkunku.
