Storylines

Arsenal: The Gunners will be a bit shorthanded in this one. Aaron Ramsey, who is set for a move to Juventus this summer on a free transfer, will miss the game due to injury. Meanwhile, Henrikh Mkhitaryan won't travel with the team due to fears for this safety as a result of the tense relations between his birth nation Armenia and the host nation Azerbaijan. Petr Cech gets the start in between the posts for the Gunners in what will be his final match before retiring and becoming an assistant for Chelsea next season.

Chelsea: Remember that friendly that Chelsea played in the United States last week? Yeah, now it's fine to question whether the timing was right. Ruben Loftus-Cheek tore his Achilles in that game, and star midfielder N'Golo Kante picked up a knee injury but will start despite speculation that he is still recovering from the knock. Besides Eden Hazard, Kante is Chelsea's most important player and the engine in the middle. If he is not at 100 percent, it's a huge boost for Arsenal.
