Confirmed Teams: Chelsea vs Arsenal | Premier League

Chelsea face Arsenal in the Premier League and the confirmed team news is in from Stamford Bridge.

Mikel Arteta's side head across the capital sitting ten points ahead of Chelsea in the league, and have the chance to climb back to the top of the table with a victory.

Arsenal have only lost once this season, while Chelsea lost their last outing in the league to Graham Potter's old side, Brighton, which was their first since the 47-year-old took charge.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang comes up against his former side on Sunday and will be hoping to bag a goal after leaving the club back in January for Barcelona prior to his switch back to England in the summer.

Chelsea have many injury problems: Kepa Arrizabalaga and Ben Chilwell picked up injuries in the last week adding to the absences of Wesley Fofana, Reece James, N'Golo Kante and Carney Chukwuemeka.

But Potter and Co can't dwell on what they don't have. If they do, Arsenal will have a field day at Stamford Bridge. If Chelsea want a result, they need to perform at their best to stop the in-form Gunners in the capital.

"It's a big game, London derby," Potter said pre-match.

"Two good teams, Arsenal are doing really well.

"The history makes it an interesting one for Auba. The past is the past as far as we are concerned. We are focused on the game and want to play well.

"He's looking forward to the game. He's been pretty normal (this week). Come matchday, I'm sure he will be pretty determined."
