Battle for Best of the Rest
Match Preview
Despite having some difficulties of their own this season, Chelsea have been in good form recently. They've had 4 clean sheets in a row, and have some very in-form attacking players. We've managed to beat them under Conte several times against the odds though, so despite our very average season, there is hope that Wenger can do it yet again. If we beat them, we'll only be 4 points off them and in the thick of the fight for the top 4 spots. Losing or drawing would cause us to lose more very precious ground on our rivals though, so a win is a must... COYG!

Predicted Lineup
Cech
Chambers - Mustafi - Koscielny
Bellerin - Wilshere - Xhaka - AMN
Welbeck - Alexis
Lacazette
I didn't watch the game but it seems Iwobi has had another rather ineffective performance, so we might see Welbeck get a go (provided Özil is still out). AMN will probably fill in at LWB if Kolasinac's injury is serious. Otherwise, I expect the same team as against West Brom.Cech
