Chelsea team news:

Antonio Conte will be unable to call upon summer signing Danny Drinkwater who is sidelined with a calf injury. The England international also missed Chelsea’s 6-0 win over Qarabag during the week.

Star playmaker Eden Hazard made his first appearance of the season against the Azerbaijani side but is unlikely to start against the Gunners.

Meanwhile, Gary Cahill is likely to return to the starting eleven after a three-match ban. The experienced defender picked up a red card following a tackle against Burnley on the opening day of the season.
