Chelsea stars Raheem Sterling and Enzo Fernandez have hinted on social media that they will start against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium tonight. Both players started the 2-0 defeat against Brentford last week and look set to have retained their places in the team for the tough game against the Gunners.
Frank Lampard is yet to win a game since he returned to Stamford Bridge as caretaker manager with the Blues languishing down in the bottom half of the Premier League table. Lampard is set to be without Marc Cucurella, Kalidou Koulibaly, Mason Mount and Reece James for the trip to north London this evening.
Kai Havertz is in contention to make the matchday squad after Sterling played in a false nine role against Brentford with the German missing through injury. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could make an appearance against his former side who are hoping to get their Premier League title challenge back on track after dropping to second in the table - behind Manchester City.
