It wasn’t a Premier League debut to remember for Unai Emery but he has to shift his focus quickly. After Manchester City last week, it is time for the Gunners to face London rivals, Chelsea.

The Gunners were not up to the mark vs the Premier League champions in the season opener and will be hoping to get some points on the board when they visit Stamford Bridge today.

Chelsea are also under a new manager once again. The Blues have a good record vs Arsenal at Stamford Bridge including a 6-0 rout in Wenger’s 1000th game.

Arsenal Team News

There is good news and bad new for Arsenal fans. Naco Monreal is fit and is expected to make the match day squad while Lucas Torreira is ready to start the game.

However, Ainsley Maitland-Niles has been ruled out for up to eight weeks with a fractured leg. He will be joining Sead Kolasinac on the sidelines and that means Stephan Lichtsteiner will play as the left-back.
