Chelsea are set to face Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium today, and the teams are in with a surprise lineup. The biggest change comes in the defence, with Levi Colwill withdrawn and replaced by Josh Acheampong. This is a significant vote of confidence in the promising young player. Further forward, Jorrel Hato and Pedro Neto will take the wing-back positions, while Reece James and Romeo Lavia form a talented yet fragile midfield duo.
The absence of Moises Caicedo, due to injury, is a concern for the Blues. Arsenal, on the other hand, are missing a few key players, giving Chelsea a potential advantage in their historic rivalry.
