Chelsea will be hoping to record back-to-back victories when they host their London based rivals Arsenal today.

The London derby takes place at Stamford Bridge while kick-off is scheduled for 17:30 (GMT).

Arsenal will be hoping to bounce back from a disappointing 2-0 defeat at the hands of the reigning Premier League champions Manchester City last weekend.

Manager Unai Emery has made changes to his starting eleven. Mesut Ozil has been moved back into his favoured number ten position.

Surprisingly, Aaron Ramsey has been replaced by Nigeria international Alex Iwobi.

Star left-back Nacho Monreal returned to training this week and has been included in Emery’s starting XI.
