Arsenal vs Chelsea Team News : Iwobi & Moses Start, Morata On The Bench, Sanchez & Hazard In The Stands

Managers Arsene Wenger and Antonio Conte have named their starting line-ups for Sunday afternoon's Community Shield showdown between Arsenal and Chelsea at the National Stadium in London.

Super Eagles stars Alex Iwobi and Victor Moses will start the game, while Arsenal's Chuba Akpom and England U20 World Cup star Fikayo Tomori are not in the matchday squads.

Chelsea record signing Alvaro Morata appears to be lacking match fitness still, as the Spanish striker has been named on the bench, but he might be given a run out along with another new signing Antonio Rüdiger, with six substitutions permitted by the English FA.

The Gunners most expensive acquisition in history Alexandre Lacazette will lead their attack at Wembley.

Arsenal star players Mesut özil and Alexis Sánchez have not been included in the official team sheet, and will watch the game from the stands along with Chelsea pair Eden Hazard and Tiémoué Bakayoko.

The two teams have already met in pre-season with Arsenal losing 3-0 in Beijing, and Chelsea boss Antonio Conte will be hoping for a similar result today.
