4-2-3-1: The Arsenal starting XI to beat Chelsea this weekend

The big games just keep on coming this season and this weekend sees another potential blockbuster as Arsenal host one of their fiercest rivals Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium.

This game has created a number of talking points over the years for both good and bad reasons with one of last season's instalments marred by Diego Costa setting up Gabriel Paulista for a red card. If the Gunners want to come out victorious this weekend they'll have to be far less naive.

They've recovered from their sluggish start to the season and a win here would certainly do their title credentials the world of good whilst also putting Chelsea's under threat.

Here at FootballFanCast we think they've got a real chance and if they go with this line-up their fans should be celebrating the three points…

Petr Cech

Cech will once again line up against his former side.

Hector Bellerin

On his way to being world-class and will start here.

Laurent Koscielny

Arsenal's best defender – must play.

Shkodran Mustafi

Football Soccer –

He's getting to grips with football in this country but this'll be his biggest test so far.

Nacho Monreal

Monreal should get the gig ahead of Kieran Gibbs.

Granit Xhaka

Xhaka has to keep a cool head here or could be in for an early bath.

Santi Cazorla

The Spaniard runs the game when given the chance and will need to do so against Chelsea.

Theo Walcott

He's started fairly well, so a big performance will be expected this weekend.

Mesut Ozil

Big games need the big players so it's time for Mesut Ozil to show what he can do.

Alexis Sanchez

Sanchez could win the game by himself and Arsenal will be hoping he does.

Olivier Giroud

Giroud will be relishing the physical battle but really needs to put a good showing in here.
