Chelsea, requiring just two wins to secure the Barclays Premiership title, replaced Robert Huth with Glen Johnson at right-back against Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.

Strikers Didier Drogba and Eidur Gudjohnsen led the attack with Chelsea opting to stick with the 4-4-2 system that served them so well in their Champions League quarter-final victory over Bayern Munich.

Arsenal’s England centre-half Sol Campbell had to be content with a place on the bench after recovering from his persistent ankle problem.

Ashley Cole, the subject of the ’tapping-up’ scandal between the two clubs, was named at left-back as the reigning champions looked to continue their fine Premiership record against the leaders.
