Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Arsenal

Fresh from booking their spot in the FA Cup final, Chelsea resume Premier League action with the visit of London rivals Arsenal to Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night.

The Blues ran out 2-0 winners over Crystal Palace in Sunday's encounter at Wembley, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Mason Mount on target to set up a final meeting with Liverpool.

Thomas Tuchel's side are seemingly safe in third place in the Premier League table heading into the final stretch - five points clear of Tottenham Hotspur with two games in hand.
