Arsenal vs Chelsea Team News – Costa starts, Hazard benched

Guus Hiddink has opted to make one change from Chelsea’s last game against Everton which ended in a 3-3 draw at Stamford Bridge, with a late John Terry equaliser. Eden Hazard returns to the side following his injury at Selhurst Park the other week, and is fit enough to make the bench. Diego Costa’s injury problem was nothing but a scare, and is started by Hiddink. Pedro is benched by Hiddink who opts to use Oscar and Chelsea’s Player of the Season Willian out wide.
