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

    Gutted The Ox has scored. Thought he might slip under the radar but can see his ownership flying up after today. Snip at 6m. He should have been playing week-in week-out for the last year and I'm sure he'll figure heavily this year

          That's the difficult thing with Arsenal. Plethora of good midfielders. But at 6m I definitely see value in The Ox. I think the likes of Ozil, Ramsey and Cazorla will struggle to keep him out of the side. All three were pretty average last year

        Cazorla always runs the show, he's the heart of that midfield, similar to Modric at Madrid.

        However, if Ozil is on form he'll be further forward and closer to the end product..
