Both teams both suffered two defeats during their pre-season session this time.

Alvaro Morata is likely to be shifted to the left filling Hazard's position, while the right wing post will be filled by Willian. Bakayoko's absence will allow Conte to play duo N'Golo Kante and Cesc Fabregas as game controllers, while Thibaut Courtois will be in charge of securing their goal from Arsenal front-line attacks.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>Estimated Team Players of Both Teams</b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>Arsenal (3-4-2-1):</b> Cech; Monreal, Koscielny, Holding; Kolasinac, Xhaka, Ramsey, Chamberlain; Ozil, Welbeck; Lacazette</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>Chelsea (3-4-3):</b> Courtois; Cahill, Luiz, Azpilicueta; Alonso, Kante, Fabregas, Moses; Morata, Batshuayi, Willian</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>Second Team Statistics</b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>Head to Head</b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><br /></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 22/07/17 Arsenal 0 - 3 <b>Chelsea </b>(Trial)</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 27/05/17 <b>Arsenal </b>2 - 1 Chelsea (FA Cup)</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 04/02/17 <b>Chelsea </b>3 - 1 Arsenal (EPL)</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 24/09/16 <b>Arsenal </b>3 - 0 Chelsea (EPL)</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 24/01/16 Arsenal 0 - 1 <b>Chelsea </b>(EPL)</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><br /></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>Arsenal's Last Five Matches</b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><br /></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 15/07/17 Western Sydney 1 - 3 Arsenal (Trial)</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 19/07/17 Bayern München 1 vs 1 Arsenal (ICC)</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 22/07/17 Arsenal 0 - 3 Chelsea (Trial)</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 29/07/17 Arsenal 5 - 2 Benfica (Emirates Cup)</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 30/07/17 Arsenal 1 - 2 Sevilla (Emirates Cup)</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>Chelsea's Last Five Matches</b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><br /></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 21/05/17 Chelsea 5 - 1 Sunderland (EPL)</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 27/05/17 Arsenal 2 - 1 Chelsea (FA Cup)</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 22/07/17 Arsenal 0 - 3 Chelsea (Trial)</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 25/07/17 Chelsea 2 - 3 Bayern München (ICC)</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 29/07/17 Chelsea 1 - 2 Inter Milan (ICC)</div>
