Midfield
Centre midfield - Nemanja Matic
Trending
Arsenal have had midfield issues this season with injuries and suspensions taking a toll on their results. Meanwhile, Chelsea have had a settled midfield since the beginning of this season and as always Matic has been at the heart of things.
In a defensive role, his abilities are unquestionable but his tally of six assists this season has meant that he has kept the talented Cesc Fabregas out of the team. He edges out the likes of Aaron Ramsey and Francis Coquelin to secure a place in the combined eleven.
Centre midfield - N'Golo Kante
Arsene Wenger praised Kante yesterday and revealed that he had twice tried to lure him to the Emirates. The Frenchman has made more interceptions than any other player in the last two seasons and his work rate does the job of two players for Chelsea.
If the Blues do win the league, Kante will have been a major reason. With Santi Cazorla out with an injury, no Arsenal player can come close to matching Kante’s effectiveness.
Attacking midfield - Mesut Ozil
Mesut Ozil has not been consistent for Arsenal but has still racked in nine goals this season. He makes them tick going forward and is a dream player to have in any team. The German has a good record against Chelsea and has always performed well against the Blues.
Arsenal need him to deliver in their biggest game of the season tonight and hopefully, Mesut Ozil will be up for the challenge.
Left wing - Eden Hazard
With nine goals and three assists, Hazard has returned to the supreme form that eluded him last season. His directness can cause any team problems and his partnership with Diego Costa has helped the Blues achieve a nine-point lead over their London rivals.
Right wing - Alexis Sanchez
The front three picks itself in this combined lineup. People had doubted the ability of the Chilean to play as a striker but he has silenced his critics as he sits on top of the scoring charts with 15 league goals. He and Hazard in one team is a mouth-watering prospect and both players can interchange roles on the flanks to cause even more damage.
