Chelsea preview + news round-up

Good day to you. I was up late editing the upcoming Arseblog book so I'm a bit tired this morning. Nevertheless, a preview of this morning's game has to be written so we'll crack on with that.

The team news for today is that Thomas Vermaelen is in the squad. Arsene says he's a bit reluctant to use him so soon after Tuesday's comeback game but if I were manager I'd certainly start him today.
