The Dugout Discussion – Arsenal vs Chelsea

Saturday’s events draw to a close at the Emirates as two heavyweights collide in the tea-time kick-off.

Arsenal host Antonio Conte’s Chelsea as both sides bid to keep pace with a perfect Manchester City at the top of the table.

The big team news finds Cesc Fabregas back in the Blues line-up following his midweek brace in the EFL Cup – Oscar makes way.

Fantasy managers will be more concerned with the fortunes of Diego Costa, Eden Hazard and Alexis Sanchez.

Sanchez heads into the encounter with goals and confidence flowing, although worringly, he has failed to score in his last four league appearances in front of his home fans.

Costa has five goals for the season, notching in four of his five Gameweeks, while Hazard will be looking to break a run of two blanks having been sold by over 350,000 FPL managers ahead of Gameweek 6.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.
