Gabriel Martinelli decision, surprise recall - The team Arsenal fans want to see vs Chelsea

Arsenal are back in Premier League midweek action as they face a trip to Stamford Bridge tonight (Tuesday).

The Gunners go into the game after taking a point from the home game against Sheffield United on Saturday, with Gabriel Martinelli's first-half opener cancelled out by John Fleck's late strike.

The point sees Mikel Arteta's men go into the game against Chelsea looking to further close the 10-point gap on the Blues, who sit in fourth place in the table.

Ahead of the game, Gunners' fans have been having their say on who they would like to see in the starting lineup.

In the back four, fans would like to see two changes from the draw against the Blades. Sokratis Papastathopoulos missed the game through illness, but should be available for selection and fans would like to see him replace Shkodran Mustafi in the centre of defence.

Hector Bellerin was back on the bench against Sheffield United, and supporters have selected him in the right-back role in place of Ainsley Maitland-Niles.

With both Kieran Tierney and Sead Kolasinac both unfit, Bukayo Saka is likely to deputise again.

Lucas Torreira, Granit Xhaka and Mesut Ozil made up the midfield three against Sheffield United, and fans would like to see the same selection at Stamford Bridge.

With Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang serving the second of his three-match ban Nicolas Pepe and last week's goalscorer Gabriel Martinelli, will provide support in wide areas for lone striker Alexandre Lacazette.

Arsenal fans' starting XI: Leno; Bellerin, Chambers, Luiz, Saka; Torreira, Ozil, Xhaka; Pepe, Martinelli, Lacazette
