Eden Hazard (£11.1m) continues to operate in the false-nine position for Chelsea as they prepare to face Arsenal this evening.
With the Blues thought to be close to signing a new centre-forward, this could be his last Premier League appearance in the role for some time.
He is flanked by Pedro (£6.3m) and Willian (£7.2m), supported by the usual midfield trio of N’Golo Kanté (£5.0m), Matteo Kovacic (£5.7m) and Jorginho (£4.7m).
Meanwhile, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.3m) and Alexandre Lacazette (£9.3m) start up front for Arsenal while Aaron Ramsey (£7.2m) supports them from midfield, in spite of recent rumours of his impending departure.
Lucas Torreira (£4.9m) returns to central midfield as Hector Bellerin (£5.4m) makes his first start since Gameweek 17.
Arsenal XI: Leno, Bellerin, Sokratis, Koscielny, Kolasinac, Torreira, Xhaka, Ramsey, Guendouzi, Aubameyang, Lacazette.
Chelsea XI: Kepa, Alonso, Rudiger, Luiz, Azpilicueta, Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic, Willian, Pedro, Hazard.

5 years, 3 months agoAlonso and sterling goal and I can smell the top 10k again. Maybe the lack of Salah for so long won’t cost me too much.
Come on Alonso.
