Arsenal have made a strong start to the season as they seek to defend their Premier League crown, but Sunday will be their toughest test yet.

Beating their fellow Londoners would bolster the Gunners' confidence for the campaign ahead, though defeat could be damaging on a psychological level, even if league position matters little at this stage.

Meanwhile, Chelsea are in the early days of a new era under Alonso, and though the club have been far from perfect in 2026-27, there are positive signs.

Should the Blues maintain their winning streak this weekend, then they may start to be seen as title contenders.
