Enzo Maresca has named his Chelsea side who will start at Stamford Bridge as the Blues take on Premier League leaders Arsenal.
A win in West London will see Chelsea move just three points behind the Gunners, and back into second in the table.
The feeling will be good around Maresca’s squad. The Blues are off the back of a 3-0 win against Barcelona in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Their opponents have just one defeat to their name so far this season though, and picked up a big European win of their own against Bayern Munich.
The injury list at Stamford Bridge is getting smaller, and this is shown by the squad named by the boss. Let’s have a look at the full XI and subs…
CONFIRMED Chelsea XI to face Arsenal
Cole Palmer returns for Chelsea
Maresca confirmed there was a chance Palmer would start for the Blues, however he has only made it to the bench for this one.
The England international is frequently the go-to man when it comes to big games. His star performance in the Club World Cup final against PSG was proof of this.
Who is the greatest to play for both Chelsea and Arsenal?
In his place, Estevao Willian gets the start, after impressing greatly in the win over Barcelona during the week.
He will be joined in attack by Pedro Neto and Joao Pedro, with the likes of Palmer, Liam Delap and Alejandro Garnacho waiting in the wings to make an impact.
