Confirmed teams: Arsenal v Chelsea: Ramsey starts, Ozil on the bench
Arsenal desperately need to beat Chelsea and get right back in the race for the top four when we welcome our London rivals to the Emirates this evening [5.30pm kick-off].
Unai Emery has made three changes from the side that lost at West Ham with Hector Bellerin coming back in at right-back to join Sokratis, Laurent Koscielny and Sead Kolasinac in what appears to be a flat back four.
Lucas Torreira also gets a recall in midfield while Aaron Ramsey comes in to support Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette in attack.
Here are the teams:
Arsenal
Leno, Bellerin, Sokratis, Koscielny, Kolasinac, Torreira, Xhaka, Ramsey, Guendouzi, Aubameyang, Lacazette.
Subs: Cech, Elneny, Ozil, Maitland-Niles, Iwobi, Monreal, Mustafi
Chelsea
Kepa, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Rudiger, Alonso, Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic, Willian, Pedro, Hazard.
Subs: Barkley, Caballero, Giroud, Hudson-Odoi, Christensen, Emerson Palmieri, Ampadu
