Arsene Wenger is delighted that Arsenal will be facing a Chelsea side without Didier Drogba for the first time in eight years.

Home strength

Wenger is delighted with how his squad is now shaping up, adding: "I have selection solutions, not selection problems. You want two players in every position." Wenger: 'Rosicky is two weeks away, Szczesny is two or three weeks away."Wenger admits that Arsenal need to make sure they beat their top-four rivals at home, starting with Chelsea. "'If we do well at home against the strong teams it will have a big impact on our chances," he said. "We will know more about us on Saturday afternoon, but much more about us after 10 or 15 games." Wenger praised Chelsea's summer signing Eden Hazard, insisting he has not been surprised by his immediate impact at Stamford Bridge. "I am not surprised that he has gone to Chelsea and is straight away one of their stars," he said. He was also about the retirement of Chelsea captain John Terry from his international duties. "It was a surprise to me. If it's how he feels you have to respect that decision," he said. He also expects Terry to play, despite his ongoing FA hearing, adding: "Yes [I think he will play] because he was involved in the League Cup."
