Arsenal and Chelsea announced their starting lineups for the match at Stamford Bridge, with most notable absentees Eden Hazard and Alexis Sanchez.
The Belgian winger featured for Belgium after recovering from his ankle injury, before coming on as a substitute against Leicester and Qarabag. Antonio Conte has deemed the winger unfit to start and he is also on the bench for the Gunners' visit.
Alexis Sanchez, following his extended holidays courtesy of Arsene Wenger, played the whole 90 minuted against Cologne on Thursday, scoring a stunner as his side completed a comeback at the Emirates.
While Mesut Ozil is ruled out entirely with a muscle injury, the Chilean surprisingly starts on the bench this afternoon.
Gary Cahill returns from suspension and is back in the lineup along with Willian. Antonio Rudiger and Tiemoue Bakayoko both feature on the bench.
