The Premier League is back this weekend with some interesting games and one match that’s certainly the show-stopper, Sunday’s clash between Arsenal and Chelsea. On September 6, the two sides will clash in a full fifth Premier League game of the season and both look to continue their unblemished beginnings.
Under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal’s first two games have been stimulating with a record of 6-0. The Gunners started the night on a winning streak with a home win of 3-0 over Coventry City before keeping Aston Villa 1-0 and clean on the road. Chelsea will do everything to threaten them with an attack and put pressure on their defensive strategy.
Chelsea also boast vital confidence after beating Peterborough up twice, taking two decisive victories so far in the league. It was a seven-goal thriller versus Brighton that came from just before the Blues beat out Fulham with their attacking prowess, showing how the Woodvilles can look the other way when they’re aggregating goals. But Arsenal might have chances against them, as they are vulnerable defensively.
It also includes some fascinating managerial sub-plots. Arteta and Alonso have made contacts and the game on Sunday will be their first head to head Premier League duel. Players’ tactics may have a huge influence on the result of a game that will surely be packed with action.
Kick-off will be at 4.30 p.m. BST from the Emirates Stadium and fans in the UK will have a live match broadcast on their televisions.
In addition to Arsenal vs. Chelsea, Manchester United drew later in the day to take on Everton on Sunday. As several teams continue chasing consistency, there are likely to be some great storylines this weekend.
But the clash for Arsenal and Chelsea is an early chance to make an impression. Three aspects could give Leicester and Liverpool plenty of going for a good race at the top.
