PL: Chelsea v Arsenal | August 18, 2018 17:30 BST | BT Sport

[field442]

It looks like he has decided to play Iwobi out wide instead of Özil and Ramsey misses out with Özil playing as a 10. Other than that he has stuck with the same team as last week (except for Monreal). I don’t mind dropping Ramsey but sticking with Xhaka and leaving Lacazette on the bench is a mistake imo.

 

[Garrincha]

Micky, Xhaka, Özil & Iwobi?

Hope it works. Dont expect it to.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

No Hazard, Cesc or Giroud for Chelsea

 

[A_G]

No Ramsey!?

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!

He might be texting his agent in the dressing room right about now

 

[Check]

Only positive from this line up is that Özil wil probably start as our N.10.

 

[HollandGooner]

Wtf where is Torreira

FFS Iwobi starting at Stamford Bridge god no..... also no Torreira?

 

[OnlyOne]

Really need to get at least a point here.

 

[James Bond]

He might be texting his agent in the dressing room right about now

Don't do this to me. My heart can only take so much excitement.

 

[thierrytheking14]

No Xhaka
Lichtsteiner at LB
Aubameyang and Lacazette partnership

What Im hoping for.

Worked out well for you.

 

[krengon]

Also, still no Nelson on the bench.

Like you said, can see why Nelson is mulling over signing the new contract, he must feel hard done by..

 

[razörist]

Then Iwobi Mkhi out wide and Özil as N.10 at least

Obviously mate.

 

[Ashybashy86]

Wenger out.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

No hazard and Barkley Morata starting give me bit of hope still we are in deep trouble in midfield against Kante and Jorginho

 

[Axel9090]

Worked out well for you.

Lol ffs, only thing I can say is Monreal is back so Lichtsteiner wasnt really need at LB, although you could make a case for him playing at RB.

 

[Aevi]

We don't have a CB on the bench. Tad risky.

 

[razörist]

Iwobi will score today, I can already feel it. Quote me on that.

 

[krengon]

Luckily no Hazard from start..

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Oh I just clued into the fact Nacho is starting. Checkmate.

 

[NieThePiet]

No CB on the bench is probably the worst thing from many.

 

[bingobob]

Then Iwobi Mkhi out wide and Özil as N.10 at least

Think that's what we will see.

Lack of a pacey winger really highlighted early on.

Could and should have went
. Lacazette
. Auba Özil Iwobi

I can understand not bringing in Torreira away to Chelsea (although I'd have played him) and feel Cech was motm against City and deserves his spot.
