Arsenal and Chelsea are set to face off in a high-stakes Premier League match, with both teams currently holding perfect records. The preview details injury concerns for Arsenal and the tactical expectations surrounding Chelsea's new manager, Xabi Alonso.
Why it matters
This match is viewed as an early-season title indicator between two major clubs with significant championship aspirations.
Two matches down, two wins in the bag. Arsenal have started the new Premier League campaign as they ended the last one, racking up wins to remain one of only four clubs with a 100% win rate so far.
The Gunners face their biggest test of the season as an ascendant New-look Chelsea come to the Emirates for the first London Derby of the season for Arsenal. The Blues are among the four clubs with a perfect record so far, and they will come into Sunday's match looking for a statement win under new manager Xabi Alonso.
It's early days, but this one has all the makings of an early title decider. The Gunners are on the hunt for a second consecutive title while Chelsea are hoping that another summer of massive transfer expenditures will finally end their decade-long title drought.
