Chelsea vs. Arsenal: Confirmed lineups and discussion

It's first vs. third. Bad vs. good. Special one vs. the specialist in failure. Chelsea hosting Arsenal is always a big event, and Arsenal making a legitimate push for silverware this late in the season makes this one an even bigger one that is has been in the recent past.

Both managers have their hands somewhat tied by either injury or suspension, but have decided on the following lineups for today's match:

Chelsea: Cech, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta, Matic, Luiz, Oscar, Hazard, Schurrle, Eto'o

Chelsea subs: Schwarzer, Kalas, Torres, Salah, Ba, Lampard, Mikel

Arsenal: Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs, Arteta, Rosicky, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Cazorla, Podolski, Giroud

Arsenal subs: Fabianski, Vermaelen, Jenkinson, Flamini, Kallstrom, Sanogo, Gnabry

As always, keep things civil and don't link or direct to any illegal streams.
