There are again beautiful posters on the roll in the second round of the Premier League in England. For example, the city derby Arsenal – Chelsea will be played in London this Sunday. According to the betting bookmakers, Chelsea is the favourite for this match, but what do you predict? Discover the highest pre-odds at the bookmakers on Bookmakers.eu today.
Arsenal played a friendly match against The Blues at the beginning of August, and coach Arteta wants to learn from that for Sunday’s city derby. It is really about the points. “It was a great test for us against the best team in Europe. We could learn a lot from that, and we know that there are many things to do to reach their level,” said coach Arteta, who strengthens his team this week with the addition of Martin Ödegaard. The Norwegian midfielder was bought from Real Madrid for more than forty million euros.
Arsenal finished eighth in the Premier League last season and did not have a great season. As a result, the Gunners even had to forgo European football this year. Something that hasn’t happened in a quarter of a century. Therefore, Coach Arteta’s team can entirely focus on the Premier League and English cup tournaments this season.
Chelsea finished fourth in the Premier League last year, won the Champions League, and won the Super Cup a few weeks ago. However, Chelsea’s season was different than that of city rivals Arsenal. Coach Tuchel’s team can therefore prepare for the group stage of the Champions League.
H2H: Chelsea vs Arsenal
Arsenal and Chelsea practised against each other at the beginning of this month before starting the new season. Chelsea won the friendly match against Arsenal 1-2. In the Premier League last season, Arsenal beat The Blues 3-1 at Emirates Stadium. At the end of 2019, Chelsea last won 1-2 at the Arsenal stadium.
Arsenal did not get off to a great start in the first round of the Premier League. The team of coach Arteta lost very surprisingly 2-0 to Brentford. A few days before the meeting with Brentford, the exhibition match against Tottenham Hotspur was lost 1-0. Watford 4-1 and Millwall 4-1 were defeated in the practice campaign.
Chelsea won their first Premier League match 3-0 against Crystal Palace. Three days before this match, coach Tuchel’s team triumphed in the Super Cup against Villarreal. The Blues won the cup only after the Spanish team’s penalty kicks. Chelsea lost on May 23 last in the league match against Aston Villa: 2-1.
Arsenal has a long list of injured players with Eddie Nketiah, Gabriel, Pierre-Emmerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette and Thomas Partey.
Kenedy and Charly Musonda Jr. join Chelsea but will not go in action against Arsenal due to injuries. However, the rest of the players are fit, so the midfielder Hakim Ziyech, injured during the European Supercup, can also play in this London derby again.
