Arsenal take on Chelsea in the biggest game of the new season so far. A London derby with plenty of history and a chance for both sides to make a statement at this early stage of the campaign.
Mikel Arteta faces an old friend in Xabi Alonso with a Spanish face-off which sees two of the youngest but most successful coaches in world football collide. For Arsenal, they will be confident to keep an unbeaten run against Chelsea which stretches back to August 2021.
Plenty has changed since then and now the Gunners are champions, whereas the Blues are a long way off scaling the Premier League summit again. It will still be an incredibly difficult challenge for Arsenal and Arteta will have to get his team news spot on.
