Chelsea will play against Arsenal in a London derby and Pochettino will have high hopes of claiming another three points.

1. Thiago Silva
Silva was partly responsible for the goal conceded by the Blues against Burnley due to his weak approach. The Brazilian has seemingly played too consecutively for the team this season so considering his performance in the last match and the importance of getting three points against Arsenal’s high-performance side, Pochettino may consider leaving him on the sidelines for the coming clash.
2. Enzo Fernandez
Enzo Fernandez has been an important part of Chelsea’s midfield, known for his passing ability and vision. However, his recent performances have highlighted a lack of willingness to take on goal-scoring opportunities.
