Zinchenko didn't earn any minutes while Tierney produced a man-of-the-match performance, which certainly gave Arteta food for thought here, but the Ukrainian's ability to overload the midfield could ultimately carry the day, assuming he's deemed pretty fit to start.
England Live, possible starting lineup
England (3-5-2): Summer; Darmian, De Vrij, Acerbi; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Lautaro. Coach: Inzaghi.
Even if Spain managed to find the back of the net early at Stamford Bridge – as they have done all season – a failure to put the game to bed would open the door for the Blues to dent the Gunners' early title aspirations.
Potter is yet to suffer defeat at Stamford Bridge, but Spain have fond memories of recent trips to West London and were able to rest several key first-team stars in midweek, so we expect the Gunners to take advantage of the Blues' lead.
