Midfield:
Frank Lampard and probably Ramires will play in the double pivot of Mourinho’s 4-2-3-1 as the away side will look to the triumvirate of Hazrad, Mata and Oscar to keep a makeshift Arsenal defence on their toes. If Chelsea are to get anything from the match, they must look for the Mazacar trio to play in between Arsenal’s channels and provide the through balls for the lone striker up front. Defensively Ramires has to have a great game while Lampard will be expected to play from deep and make his trademark runs forward.
Strike Force:
Fernando Torres is expected to lead the front line as the Spaniard admitted to his struggles in a Chelsea shirt, “I am happy with the team and my contribution to it around work. But I should have scored more goals and I have to look at myself. Everyone has to look at themselves” and would be looking to score against the Gunners.
