Team News: Cesar Azpilicueta returns for Chelsea, Jack Wilshere in for Arsenal

Chelsea and Arsenal make one change apiece for this afternoon's Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge.

Both Chelsea and Arsenal have made one change to their respective starting lineups for this afternoon's Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge.

Cesar Azpilicueta has returned to the Chelsea team at left-back in place of summer arrival Felipe Luis, while Diego Costa has retained his place upfront as he starts his third game in the space of eight days.

Meanwhile, Arsenal have replaced Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain with Jack Wilshere as Arsene Wenger makes just one change from the side that brushed aside Galatasary 4-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday.

In last season's fixture, Arsenal were reduced to ten men after 15 minutes and went on to lose the game 6-0.

Chelsea: Courtois, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta; Matic, Fabregas; Schurrle, Oscar, Hazard; Costa
Subs: Cech, Zouma, Filipe Luis, Mikel, Willian, Salah, Remy

Arsenal: Szczesny, Chambers, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs, Wilshere, Flamini, Cazorla, Ozil, Alexis, Welbeck
Subs: Martinez, Monreal, Coquelin, Rosicky, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Campbell, Podolski
