Arsenal’s Predicted Starting XI to Face Chelsea FC
By Josh Sippie
Aaron Ramsey and Alexis
Aaron Ramsey was missed against Zagreb, just not as much as Coquelin. Ramsey brings physicality and unpredictability to the pitch. Just like Coquelin was probably wound up from the loss, you can bet that Ramsey will be itching to make his mark as well.

He has to be careful though. Ramsey oftentimes tries to do too much and that would not breed great results if he starts getting flustered.
Meanwhile Alexis will be facing up against Branislav Ivanovic unless Mourinho finds a better option. That match-up is something to salivate over. Alexis will be able to run rings around the Serbian, who has been playing well below par so far this year.
Alexis has been on the breaking point in terms of goals. He was painfully denied by the Stoke City keeper, Post, on two separate occasions and Zagreb stoned him twice as well. Alexis is not taking these denials lightly. He wants to score and who better to beat than a Chelsea team longing for a burial?
