Starting XI to face Arsenal. Should be easy work, given their form. But I know better smh.

100%. We should take all 3 points today, but it’s also kinda in Chelsea’s DNA to fumble the easy one. Hopefully we take care of business though.

That Arsenal lineup is League Cup tie worthy.

Gabriel, David Luiz out makes things even more shambolic, Willian not so haha.

I guess Gabriel is in self isolation. Not sure what the story is with Luiz.

 

[whtascene]

Pre-match interview Arteta said Luiz and Willian were not feeling well, both tested negative but are kept away as a precaution.

Currently have a dangerous front 3 but Arsenal has no answer for Giroud in the air.

We have no healthy wingers outside Pulisic. No choice.
I already know this game is ending 1-0.
