It will be a bang. Arsenal will face a tough away test against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday in a match which could go some way to revealing more about their title credentials. The Gunners have won their past two consecutive games against Bournemouth and FC Koln in the Europa League, but a 4-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield over a fortnight ago still lingers in the memory. Arsene Wenger's side have an indifferent record at the home of the Blues and will be desperate to put in a performance worthy of a top four contender against Antonio Conte's well-drilled outfit. “[Our record at Stamford Bridge is because] in recent years, Chelsea had a great team always and it was always difficult to win there,” the manager said. “But our record against Chelsea recently has been good. We won at the Emirates last year, we won the FA Cup final and on penalties in the Community Shield so let’s just continue to focus on the quality of our game and not too much where we play. “Chelsea looked comfortable after 20 minutes [in midweek against Qarabag] but that doesn’t bother me. I think we need to focus on our performance and play our game. Wenger has used two different formations this season and admitted after Arsenal's win over FC Koln that he will change his tactical set-up depending on the opposition. It's expected that the Gunners will start with three centre backs - Nacho Monreal, Laurent Koscielny and Shkodran Mustafi - while Sead Kolasinac and Hector Bellerin are likely to start in the wing-back positions. The preferred central midfield pairing of Granit Xhaka and Aaron Ramsey looks set to make its return while a front three of Alexandre Lacazette, Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil represents a strong forward line. Danny Drinkwater is an injury doubt with a calf injury while Eden Hazard could start in attack after being eased back into Chelsea's team following an ankle injury. Baba Rahman isn't involved due to a knee injury while Diego Costa remains another absentee as he seeks a transfer to Atletico Madrid. Conte has used a 3-4-3 and 3-5-2 formation this season and will welcome back the likes of Morata after resting the Spaniard for their Champions League opener against Qarabag
