Frank Lampard explains Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Noni Madueke Chelsea decision for Arsenal

Chelsea interim boss Frank Lampard has explained his reasoning behind his squad selection for tonight's Premier League clash at Arsenal.

Lampard made two changes to the side that fell to a 2-0 home defeat to Brentford last week. Former Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang comes in for his first start since the last meeting between the two teams, with Noni Madueke making his first start under Lampard.

The Blues look set to play in a back four with Trevoh Chalobah and Conor Gallagher dropping out of the starting XI. The move means Chelsea will attack with a natural No.9 in Aubameyang, something they've lacked all season.
