The Gunners are aiming to end a four-game semi-final losing streak and William Saliba has passed a late fitness test to take his place in an somewhat injury-hit Gunners defence, as does Leandro Trossard.

Chelsea: Sánchez; Acheampong, Fofana, Chalobah, Cucurella; Enzo, Santos; Estevão, João Pedro, Neto; Guiu.

Arsenal: Kepa; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber; Zubimendi, Rice, Ødegaard; Saka, Gyökeres, Trossard.
