Outlet predicts Chelsea starting Xl for Arsenal including if Cole Palmer is starting

It’s the big one later this afternoon as Chelsea welcome Arsenal to Stamford Bridge in their next Premier League London derby clash.

This should be a tasty game for the neutrals to watch and really, has a completely unpredictable outcome. I think many people will be expecting a draw as that is the safest prediction you can make in this one.

EXCLUSIVE! Agents are touting a couple of big name Chelsea players to other clubs!

Arsenal started the season superbly, but they have had a couple of stuttering results of late. Chelsea have been pretty steady throughout the season so far and are actually above Arsenal in the league, something they have not done in a little while.

But anything can happen in this game and both teams will be fully up for this in front of the TV cameras in the big Sunday game of the weekend.

Both head coaches have some decisions to make and both of them are waiting to see if a couple key players are going to be fit enough to start.

Predicted lineups

GIVEMESPORT have predicted the starting lineups for the sides today in their latest article. They believe Cole Palmer will be fit enough to start the game after getting a knock against Manchester United last weekend.

• Chelsea Predicted XI: Sanchez; James, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Lavia; Madueke, Palmer, Neto; Jackson.

They also believe that both Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard will be fit enough to start for Arsenal today in this huge match. Rice has been a doubt all week, and Odegaard returned from injury off the bench for his first game back in the Champions League in midweek for Arsenal.

• Arsenal Predicted XI: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber; Partey, Rice, Odegaard; Saka, Havertz, Martinelli.

Let’s see if these lineups come to fruition but to be honest, I am inclined to agree with both of these and feel also that this is what we will see today.
