Chelsea vs. Arsenal: Key Battles

Stamford Bridge plays host to the weekend’s showcase Premier League fixture as Chelsea and Arsenal lock horns once more, but this time with new looks.

Maurizio Sarri and Chelsea want to build on their positive start to the new season after avoiding a potential banana skin in Yorkshire to sweep Huddersfield Town aside with ease; Kante, Jorginho and Pedro on target in a 3-0 win.

It was a bit of a different start for Unai Emery at Arsenal though. They fell to a 2-0 defeat against reigning champions Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium but showed promising signs of development in their first outing since Arsene Wenger’s departure.

For Chelsea, Cesc Fabregas remains sidelined with a knee injury but Arsenal have deeper problems; Carl Jenkinson, Laurent Koscielny, Sead Kolasinac and Ainsley Maitland-Niles are all unavailable.

It’s always a fierce battle when these two English giants take to the stage, but what about the individual battles this time around?
