Chelsea v Arsenal: Premier League – live

Chelsea and Arsenal to renew London rivalry in huge Premier League clash

Chelsea and Arsenal will renew their London rivalry when they meet in the Premier League on Sunday. The match is scheduled to start at 4.30pm BST and will be shown live on Sky Sports.

Chelsea are the defending Premier League champions, but they have made a disappointing start to the new season. They have won just two of their first five games and are already six points behind leaders Manchester City.

Arsenal, on the other hand, have made a strong start to the season. They have won four of their first five games and are level on points with Manchester City.

The match between Chelsea and Arsenal is always a close and competitive affair. Arsenal won the last meeting between the two sides, a 2-1 victory in the FA Cup in January. However, Chelsea have won the last two Premier League meetings between the two sides.

Team news

Chelsea will be without Thiago Silva and N'Golo Kante for the match against Arsenal. Silva is suspended after being sent off in Chelsea's last game, while Kante is injured.

Arsenal will be without Thomas Partey for the match against Chelsea. Partey is injured and will not return to action until after the international break.

Key battle

The key battle in the match between Chelsea and Arsenal is likely to be in midfield. Chelsea have a strong midfield, with Jorginho, Mateo Kovacic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek all in good form.

However, Arsenal also have a strong midfield, with Granit Xhaka, Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka all capable of creating chances for their team-mates.

The team that can control the midfield is likely to have the advantage in the match.

Prediction

Chelsea v Arsenal is a difficult match to predict. Both teams have strengths and weaknesses, and it could go either way.

However, Chelsea have a slightly better squad and they are the defending champions. They should be able to edge out Arsenal and win the match 2-1.
