Welcome back to Teamsheet… Mail Sport’s original football memory game with a twist that gives you the chance to test your football knowledge against your mates.

Ahead of their clash this weekend, we are today going back to a classic encounter between Chelsea and Arsenal. Back in October 2011, the Gunners were struggling in the league but could rely on one man to fire in a hat-trick and help them secure victory.

Chelsea, meanwhile, lost for the second league game in a row and would go onto miss out on Champions League qualification. But can you remember the team that Andre Villas-Boas picked that day?

It’s just for fun, so see how you fare and share your Teamsheet score… full instructions on how to play are at the bottom of the article and in the game itself. And you can also pick any team you like and guess their starting XI.

Best of luck!

HOW TO PLAY

The aim of the game is to score as few points as possible!

If you guess a player at the first attempt you score one point – so the lowest score for guessing every player at the first attempt is 11.

Guess a correct letter in the right position, and it’ll turn green. Guess a correct letter but in the wrong position, and it’ll turn yellow.

You have six guesses for each player – and if you fail, we’ll reveal their identity for 11 points! You can also ask for a free letter, but it costs you a point.

So play on to see if you’ll score the best possible total of 11 – or fail on every player and score 121.
