What more is left to say about N'Golo Kante? The midfield metronome continues to be the heartbeat of his side, covering every blade of grass trying to win back possession and feeding the attackers with throughballs of surgical precision. His expansive passing range is the Frenchman's biggest weapon, and the Gunners are in for a treat if they fail to contain him.

It might seem like a controversial inclusion for some people but the Spaniard's performances in the center of the park have been very underrated this season. He's laid out three assists from that position and boasts an impressive 87% pass completion rate. Ceballos has a tendency to switch off at times - remember his mistake against Villarreal in a crucial Europa League match? - but he cannot afford that against in-form Chelsea and will have to muster his A1 game.
