Carlo Ancelotti Facing a Selection Dilemma ahead of Arsenal Clash

Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has to pick up 3 midfielders among 5 quality players available for Sunday’s visit to Arsenal. Chelsea will go into the match with a 5-point lead and will be looking to strengthen their position at the top of the point table. Frank Lampard is now reportedly available for the match as he recovered from injury sustained while on international duty with England national team in Qatar.



NY Times reported:

The Italian, who has taken Chelsea five points clear at the top of the Premier League in his first season in charge, said on Friday he was also very wary of third-placed Arsenal's own talented midfield.

"I have five midfielders in very good condition - (Michael) Ballack, Lampard, (John Obi) Mikel, (Michael) Essien, (Florent) Malouda -- and I have to put on the pitch only three players," he said after a session at the training ground near London.



If you were the manager of Chelsea, then what would you do?
