The second of three top 6 clashes in August, Arsenal travel to Chelsea in Gameweek two. Both sides made wholesale changes during the summer with new managerial arrivals and a change in the style of play for the upcoming season. Both clubs also expect better this season and will push for at least a top 4 finish.

Having started the season away at Huddersfield, Chelsea will hope to come into this fixture with a win and three points under their belt. Maurizio Sarri has had to beat off interest in many of his key players this summer including Hazard, Willian, and Courtois, all of whom at the time of writing remain at Stamford Bridge.

Arsenal can curse their luck with an incredibly difficult set of fixtures to begin the season. After facing off against Manchester City, they will travel to Stamford Bridge in search of a positive result. Should the Gunners fail to pick up any points from their opening two games, the pressure will already start to build up for Emery.
