The Blues welcome Arsenal on Wednesday at the Bridge with Thomas Tuchel’s men now sitting in the third spot in the league standings and looking increasingly certain to clinch Champions League qualification.
A much memorable win last time around over table-toppers Manchester City ensured the west Londoners moving above Leicester City in the league table but with just a point adrift of the Foxes, Chelsea have all to play for in what remains of the campaign.
Wednesday’s action in West London comes ahead of Chelsea’s all-important game over the coming weekend at Wembley in what is the finals of the FA Cup being contested between Tuchel’s side and Leicester City, meaning the Blues gaffer could be tempted to ring in a few changes to his side that play the Gunners.

TEAM NEWS
Thomas Tuchel confirmed that Mateo Kovacic remains sidelined for the upcoming fixture meaning that Billy Gilmour could have a huge role to play in the absence of the Croatian international.
Andres Christensen limped off the pitch in the win over Manchester City but the Dane could be in line to make a hasty return to the pitch in the midweek clash despite Tuchel having the likes of Kurt Zouma and Thiago Silva to call upon at centre-back.
