Arsenal v Chelsea: Ramires & Willian start

By

Chelsea will start without a recognised striker against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, where a win would take the Blues to the verge of being crowned champions.

With Diego Costa and Loic Remy still not fit, boss Jose Mourinho opted to leave Didier Drogba on the bench and bring Ramires and Willian into the starting line-up. Youngster Ruben Loftus-Cheek is among Chelsea’s substitutes.

Meanwhile, Arsenal defender Per Mertesacker plays despite limping out of last weekend’s FA Cup semi-final against Reading with an ankle problem.

Arsenal: Ospina, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Coquelin, Cazorla, Ramsey, Ozil, Alexis, Giroud.
Subs: Szczesny, Debuchy, Gibbs, Wilshere, Walcott, Flamini, Welbeck.

Chelsea: Courtois, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta, Matic, Fabregas, Ramires, Oscar, Willian, Hazard
Subs: Cech, Filipe Luis, Zouma, Mikel, Loftus-Cheek, Cuadrado, Drogba.
