Today’s Wembley showpiece between Chelsea and Arsenal affords Fantasy managers further opportunity to scout our options for the upcoming campaign, with the Premier League kick off now just six days away.

For the Blues, Diego Costa is sidelined due to “discomfort in his hamstring” once again. Loic Remy is handed the chance to lead the line in the Spain international’s absence, with loan signing Radamel Falcao on the bench. William and Ramires join Eden Hazard in the attacking midfield three behind Remy, with Jose Mourinho naming last season’s defensive regulars along with Cesc Fabregas and Nemanja Matic in the double-pivot.

Theo Walcott gets the chance to lead the line for Arsenal, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain selected in the XI as Olivier Giroud is named amongst the subs. Arsene Wenger’s side are as expected, otherwise, with Hector Bellerin selected ahead of Mathieu Debuchy at right-back, whilst Mesut Ozil and Aaron Ramsey join Oxlade-Chamberlain in the positions behind Walcott. Jack Wilshere misses out through injury for the Gunners.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Theo set up the goal though. Different players though. Giroud likes to come deep, Theo plays on the last man.

        A simple sideways pass. Hardly an 'assist'

    Can't believe I'm saying this but might have to drop Wally if he and Giroud are sharing pitch time. I need 90 min players

    Speak it in hushed, worried tones, but Arsenal looking a lot more threatening within 2 minutes of Giroud's arrival.

      Sanchez or nobody, points will be shared around and most weeks you'll be frustrated.

    I think Walcott will very rarely get more than 70 minutes if he does start.

    Both Walcott and Giroud are risks. Better to start with a nailed on Arsenal midfielder, like Ramsey or Cazorla surely?
