Chelsea entertain arch-rivals Arsenal in today’s Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge.

Ahead of the game, manager Enzo Maresca has confirmed that Cole Palmer is fully fit and ready to start.

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Predicted Line-up:

Robert Sanchez is guaranteed to feature in goal for the Blues.

Wesley Fofana and Trevoh Chalobah are the best central defensive pairing.

They should make the XI with Reece James and Marc Cucurella either side.

Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez are pretty much guaranteed to start in the centre of the park, now that Palmer has fully recovered.

Palmer could be drafted straight into the XI in the number 10 role.

Further forward, Estevao made a huge impression against Barcelona with a stellar solo goal. He should continue on the right wing.

Alejandro Garnacho looks poised to feature on the opposite flank, while Pedro Neto is a strong candidate to lead the line again.

Predicted Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; James, Fofana, Chalobah, Cucurella; Caicedo, Enzo; Estevao, Palmer, Garnacho; Neto.
