Hello! And welcome back to The Athletic where are covering another London derby.
This time last week, we watched Arsenal take apart their biggest rivals Tottenham at the Emirates Stadium and now Mikel Arteta’s men are up against another of their peers from the capital.
They will be expecting a tougher test this time around as they travel to Stamford Bridge to face a Chelsea side that have made a strong start to the season.
We’re still a few hours away from kick-off in west London, so stick with us for all the build-up.
