Aubameyang and Lacazette start, Strongest Predicted Arsenal lineup (3-4-1-2) to face Chelsea
Petr Cech has been the regular choice for the goalkeeping duties in the Europa League and he is expected to feature in goal in his final professional game. A section of the fans have been critical regarding the potential selection of Cech ahead of Leno, but Emery is likely to entrust the veteran with the role between the sticks.
In the defence, Emery should stick with the three-man backline which has worked impressively through the course of the competition. In this case, Sokratis, Laurent Koscielny and Nacho Monreal are the best picks for the positions and that would leave the error-prone Shkodran Mustafi on the bench.
At right wing-back, Ainsley Maitland-Niles is pretty much an automatic choice with Hector Bellerin on the sidelines. On the opposite end, Sead Kolasinac should make the starting lineup after managing to return to training after a troublesome knee problem picked up during the semi-final return leg at Valencia.
In the midfield, Emery has the temptation to partner Matteo Guendouzi with the likes of Granit Xhaka and Lucas Torreira. However, judging by the recent selection policy, the Spaniard should go with a two-man combination, meaning that Guendouzi may have to settle for a bench role.
