Team News: Four changes for Arsenal as Per Mertesacker fit to take on Chelsea

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger makes four changes ahead of his side's Premier League clash against Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has made four changes ahead of his side's Premier League clash against Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium.

David Ospina, Hector Bellerin, Nacho Monreal and Olivier Giroud return to the Gunners starting XI at the expense of Wojciech Szczesny, Mathieu Debuchy, Kieran Gibbs and Danny Welbeck, who all drop to the bench.

Meanwhile, experienced centre-back Per Mertesacker has overcome an ankle knock in time to feature against the Blues.

Jose Mourinho has made two changes to his side as Willian and Ramires replace Kurt Zouma and Didier Drogba. Eden Hazard starts up front in a lineup without a recognised striker due to injuries to Diego Costa and Loic Remy.

Ex-Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas is in line to make his first Blues appearance at the Emirates since leaving the North London club for Barcelona.

Arsenal: Ospina, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Coquelin, Cazorla, Ramsey, Ozil, Alexis, Giroud
Subs: Szczesny, Debuchy, Gibbs, Flamini, Wilshere, Walcott, Welbeck

Chelsea: Courtois, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta, Matic, Fabregas, Ramires, Oscar, Willian, Hazard
Subs: Cech, Filipe Luis, Zouma, Mikel, Loftus-Cheek, Cuadrado, Drogba
