The "Gunners" have serious rotational losses, seven players can not enter the field. In particular, the match on the bench will hold Mesut Ozil, and also missed the fight against "West Bromwich Albion". Defender Sead Kolasinac was injured, like his colleague Montreal, and by the beginning of the match they are unlikely to recover. Forward Olivier Fat along with Carsola also lies in the infirmary. The line of forwards from Londoners is very weak, most likely the coaching staff will bet on the attacking positions of foreign players.

Thus, the bookmakers give preference to the match players "Chelsea".

As reported in the "URA-Inform", recently midfielder "Chelsea" and the French national team N'Golo Kante was recognized as the best French football player in 2017 by the version of France Football.
