Match Preview
This is the first major meeting of the Premier League season between two sides many expect to be battling for the title, with Arsenal and Chelsea tipped by many to finish in the top two. Arsenal will be favourites heading into the game, with Chelsea’s defensive issues so far likely to be a key factor in the contest.
Chelsea’s new-look and exciting attack will face its biggest test yet against Arsenal’s excellent defence. It will be intriguing to see whether Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers can make their mark and find their rhythm at the Emirates.
An exciting game lies ahead for the Blues and their first test to see where they really are.
Chelsea team news
Moises Caicedo is a doubt for the game after suffering a recurrence of his injury when he came off the bench against Brighton, lasting just 14 minutes. The Ecuadorian will need to come through today’s training session before being considered for a place in the starting XI or on the bench.
Reece James and Romeo Lavia are likely to form the midfield pairing and in our predicted XI, while Malo Gusto could return to the wing-back role given his greater defensive capabilities.
Arsenal team news
Cristhian Mosquera’s withdrawal against Aston Villa on Monday night was precautionary, but Arteta may be tempted to add more experience to his back line, with Ezri Konsa potentially partnering Gabriel. Jurrien Timber remains out.
Christian Tzolis could be the main concern for Arsenal after an ineffective 45 minutes against Villa. Eberechi Eze impressed after coming on and is expected to replace him in the starting XI. Former Blue Kai Havertz should start, while Noni Madueke is expected to begin on the bench.
Prediction
A touch game but Cole Palmer comes up clutch with a late equaliser. Arsenal 1 - 1 Chelsea
