However, "Chelsea" will be without Alex, Yossi Benayoun, and Yuri Zhirkov, who are still injured, but the Achilles tendon problem has been solved by Jose Bosingwa.
"Arsenal" will still have to do without defender Thomas Vermaelen, but Lukasz Fabianski and Abou Diaby are returning to the lineup after a rest.
Speaking before the important match, "Arsenal" captain Cesc Fabregas emphasized that the team is not mentally strong enough, so in the last match against "Man Utd," they felt the fear of losing.
"Sometimes it seems that we are afraid of losing those important matches," said Fabregas. "We are not properly prepared, we play too cautiously, and we wait to see what the opponents will do."
Fearing "Arsenal," now also has a reason - 'The Blues' striker Didier Drogba terrorizing the 'gunners' defense and scoring 13 goals in their last 11 encounters.
However, recently neither Drogba nor "Chelsea" look as powerful as before - the team has not won a single match in over a month.
For both teams, this will be an opportunity to prove that they are still in the race for the title - currently, "Arsenal" is in third place with 32 points, and next to them is "Chelsea" (31 points).
The match will take place tonight at 22:00 Lithuanian time.
