Chelsea makes two changes to starting XI for Arsenal clash, captain Reece James returns

Enzo Maresca made two changes to his Chelsea starting lineup for today's London derby away to Arsenal, with the captain returning to the squad.

The Blues have maintained a perfect record so far this season, but this afternoon they face their toughest test yet, away to reigning Premier League champions Arsenal.

Emi Martinez continues in goal against the club that brought him to England, but there are changes in the defense in front of him. Axel Disasi returns to the starting lineup, partnering French duo Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile. Colwill is on the bench for this match.

There is also one change in midfield, with captain Reece James starting in place of Gusto. The captain is expected to partner Lavia in the center, with Pedro Neto and Hato continuing on the flanks.

The Chelsea front three remains unchanged, with Palmer, Madueke, and Cole Palmer in red-hot form since the start of the season.

Giovani Lo Celso returns to the bench after missing the win against Brighton, but the Blues are without Caicedo at the Emirates Stadium.
