Premier League champion Arsenal gets its first major test of the new season on Sunday, Sept. 6, welcoming Chelsea to the Emirates Stadium for a London Derby.
Arsenal and Chelsea were two of the only four teams to win the first two matches, with the Gunners dispatching Coventry City at home in the opener before beat Aston Villa in Birmingham in their second game.
It's been more than four years since Arsenal lost against Chelsea, a stretch spanning 11 matches in the Premier League and Carabao Cup with the North London side winning eight of those meetings. But this is a new-look Chelsea team after a massive summer overhaul under new manager Xabi Alonso, scoring seven goals in wins over Fulham and Brighton to start the new campaign.
