The Gunners face a tough task up against Maurizio Sarri’s side, having tasted defeat in their opening fixture away at Manchester City. New Arsenal manager Unai Emery has plenty of decisions to make ahead of the match, with his squad currently decimated by injuries. Up to five first-team stars are in danger of missing out, meaning the likes of Stephan Lichtsteiner and Lucas Torreira could make their full debuts. Left-back in particular is a problem area, with Nacho Monreal doubtful and both Sead Kolasinac and Ainsley Maitland-Niles sidelined. Laurent Koscielny is also out with an Achilles problem while Danny Welbeck faces a fitness test ahead of the clash. Meanwhile, summer signing Matteo Guendouzi impressed in the 2-0 defeat at the Emirates and is expected to retain his place in the starting XI. However, Emery may be tempted to shuffle his squad after lacklustre performances from both Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Granit Xhaka against the Champions. Arsenal team news: Unai Emery faces an injury crisis ahead of the Gunners' clash with Chelsea Arsenal team news: GK – Petr Cech Arsenal team news: RB – Hector Bellerin Arsenal team news: CB – Shkodran Mustafi GK – Petr Cech The veteran goalkeeper suffered a tricky start to the season during the defeat to Manchester City, and almost scored one of the most comical own-goals in Premier League history. However, Emery is likely to stick by his stopper meaning another week on the bench for Bernd Leno. RB – Hector Bellerin An almost certain starter with Arsenal’s current injury problems, Bellerin is expected to hold down the right-back slot but could switch to the opposite flank. CB – Shkodran Mustafi A scapegoat for much of the Gunners’ defensive woe, but Emery has little choice in playing the inconsistent German. With Koscielny out, Mustafi will be called on to form a partnership with Sokratis. Arsenal team news: CB – Sokratis Papastathopoulos Arsenal team news: LB – Stephan Lichtsteiner Arsenal team news: CDM – Matteo Guendouzi CB – Sokratis Papastathopoulos Thrown in at the deep end against City and the Greek defender won’t find things much easier against Eden Hazard and co. LB – Stephan Lichtsteiner Lichtsteiner replaced Maitland-Niles when the 20-year-old limped off last weekend, and the Swiss ace looks set to get the nod at left-back again. Injuries to Monreal and Kolasinac mean Emery is already out of natural left-sided players ahead of the trip to Stamford Bridge. CDM – Matteo Guendouzi A shock starter last week, but looked deserving of his spot and is expected to be handed the holding role again this time out. Arsenal team news: CM – Aaron Ramsey Arsenal team news: CM – Lucas Torreira Arsenal team news: RAM – Mesut Ozil CM – Aaron Ramsey Deployed in a more advanced position than usual against City and looked isolated throughout. Emery may opt to start the Welshman deeper in order to dictate the tempo of Arsenal’s attacks. CM – Lucas Torreira The Uruguayan could be the big beneficiary of Xhaka’s struggles against City, presenting a like-for-like alternative in midfield. RAM – Mesut Ozil Ozil endured a turbulent summer and his mood will not have been improved by the Gunners’ opening day defeat. However, the German will be central to Arsenal’s chances of leaving Stamford Bridge with points and is almost guaranteed to start. Arsenal team news: LAM – Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Arsenal team news: ST – Alexandre Lacazette LAM – Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang The Gabon international started up front on his own against City but is expected to shift out to the left in order to accommodate Alexandre Lacazette. Aubameyang was in fine form during pre-season and will hope the blank last time out is just a minor blip. ST – Alexandre Lacazette Lacazette may well have felt hard done by after starting on the bench at the Etihad and should get the nod in a central position this time around. However, Emery could confound expectations and stick with Aubameyang through the middle – meaning a reprieve for Henrikh Mkhitaryan out wide.<doc-sep>Arsenal’s Premier League campaign continues in difficult fashion, as they will now take on Chelsea. Here are our five key guys. While Manchester City get to gallivant off through the six clubs that have been promoted in the past two years, Arsenal will have to face another title contender – Chelsea. And, needless to say, it won’t be easy, not least of all because it’s at Stamford Bridge. After the problems against City, it would be surprising if some changes weren’t made. There is a certain art in sticking to the script and not making any rash decisions based on one match against the best team in England, but when those players don’t fit the mold that Unai Emery is trying to cast, then there’s no such thing as too rash. I highlighted the three key changes that need to be made following the City match, and, if those changes are indeed made, then I have to believe that things will be different and, perhaps, we can come out with a hard-fought win. That said, let’s talk about the five key players that need to step up against the Blues. Starting with No. 5. 5. Petr Cech I feel like it’s every other day that I’m saying something along the lines of “we really need to have some confidence in what is going on at the back.” This refers to everything across the defensive line, but it really starts in goal. Petr Cech did not inspire confidence. He knows that. He’s been speaking out about how he needs to learn and adjust and that’s all well and good. But until he proves otherwise, we will be a nervous wreck out of the back and I can’t picture him solving all of his problems after just a week. He needs, and I mean needs to have a seat. But Unai Emery confirmed that they will be sticking with Cech, regardless. There’s a certain beauty in having faith in your guys, and in your team, but there is also a risk involved. A risk that Arsene Wenger ran into all too often. Bernd Leno should be starting. But honestly, whichever keeper starts, it’s imperative that they do what hasn’t been done in over a year – just be steady at the back and don’t make any bewildering mistakes, like nearly sending a backpass into your own net. Anyway, I grow tired of talking about keepers. Let’s move on to No. 4.<doc-sep>
