Chelsea are one of the favourites to win the Premier League this season, and their opening day win showed the team’s enormous potential. They will face Arsenal, which, on the other hand, suffered a terrible defeat to the rookie Brentford in the first game. Arsenal is looking like an underdog in the London derby, and Mikel Arteta will need to do his best to defeat Thomas Tuchel’s team.
Arsenal vs Chelsea preview
Chelsea kicked off the 2021/22 Premier League season with a strong performance against Crystal Palace 3-0. Marcos Alonso opened the score, while Christian Pulisic and debutant Trevor Chalobah added other Chelsea goals to complete the perfect game. Now they are facing the Gunners, hoping to take advantage because of the pressure on Arsenal after their defeat on an opening day.
Arsenal vs Chelsea team news
Arsenal vs Chelsea is promising to be one of the most exciting matches of the season, with many goals and memorable episodes. Chelsea look like a strong team, especially after winning the Champions League and signing a player like Romelu Lukaku. Thomas Tuchel mentioned that Romelu Lukaku is set to make his Chelsea debut against Arsenal and is expected to start the game as Tammy Abraham leaves the Blues in favour of Roma. Both Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang missed the game against Brentford because of illness, and we don’t know if the players will be available this weekend.
Arsenal vs Chelsea predictions
Chelsea are strong favourites for this game but given that Arsenal have won both meetings last season, it is unwise to be sure of their victory.
Arsenal won both Premier League matches last season, beating Chelsea 3-1 at home in December and leaving Stamford Bridge with a 1-0 victory in May.
