Arsenal vs Chelsea
Arsenal, the defending Champions led by their manager Mikel Arteta, will play host to their fellow Londoners Chelsea, helmed by Xabi Alonso, at the Emirates Stadium tonight. The contest is the final game of Matchday 3 of the English Premier League 26/27 Season.
Two Confident Teams
With two wins out of two, both Arsenal and Chelsea arrive as confident units in a crucial game which may have a telling impact on the course both teams take from here on.
Mikel Arteta’s Dangerous Gunners
Arsenal of course have yet to concede a goal, beating new entrants Coventry emphatically and then carving out a tough win against Aston Villa. Though the Gunners have lost Gabriel Martinelli, their core of Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, the inspiring new signing Christos Tzolis and the incredible David Raya in goal makes Arteta’s team one extremely dangerous unit. Not to forget the bench strength in Eze, Konsa, Merino and Guimaraes.

Xabi Alonso’s Determined Blues…
Chelsea, under Xabi Alonso, have begun a new era by winning two tough matches. The Blues got past Fulham 3-2 and Brighton 4-3 in two incredible matches under Alonso. But what caught my attention was the determination of the Blues to survive and win.
… And Cole Palmer In Great Form
Fit again, Cole Palmer in full flow is great news for Chelsea. With Morgan Rogers, Pedro Neto and Joao Pedro to bolster the midfield and attack, Chelsea look dangerous. With Emi Fernandez, one of the World’s best goalkeepers, Chelsea have sorted out their glove issues, but they are finding it difficult to fill the big boots of Cucurella in defence, which may be Arsenal’s big opportunity.
Xabi’s Aggression vs Arteta’s Grit
It is going to be a tough game. Xabi Alonso’s aggressive open play to Arsenal’s gritty grind. Let’s see who takes the honours.
