The most anticipated match of the 2026–27 Premier League season so far arrives on Sunday when Chelsea journey to London rivals Arsenal.
At least one of the sides will surrender their perfect record during their third outing of the season, and history hints at the Blues stumbling considering their torrid record in this fixture. They have only beaten the Gunners once this decade, and not since August 2021.
The match has been billed as defense vs. attack as Arsenal’s impermeable rearguard collides with Chelsea’s fluid forward line. With any luck, the outcome will be a breathless affair in which two extremely talented squads flex their muscles.
A first meeting of the Premier League’s ‘Big Six’ this season is not to be missed. Here’s how to tune into the clash.
