Arsenal v Chelsea betting preview  

Arsenal has been impressive under new manager Unai Emery so far

Arsenal enter this clash on the back of a penalty shootout victory against Atletico Madrid and a 5-1 drubbing of PSG. The Gunners should be well ahead of Chelsea in terms of preparation. Furthermore, they were unbeaten in four league and cup matches against Chelsea last season, having recorded two draws in Premier League, a goalless draw and a 2-1 win in the Carabao Cup semifinal.

Arsenal are likely to name a strong side with new signings Bernd Leno, Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Matteo Guendouzi all involved. Mesut Ozil, Alex Iwobi and Mohamed Elneny all returned for the Gunners last time out and are expected to start, while new signing Lucas Torreira is likely to wait for his debut. The only absentees are England international Danny Welbeck and new signing Stephan Lichtsteiner.

Chelsea failed to beat the Gunners in 4 encounters last term

Chelsea have won 1-0 in Australia against Perth Glory and drawn 1-1 with Inter Milan - winning the resulting penalty shootout - with Spanish forward Pedro scoring both goals so far. The Blues have spent most of the summer reportedly wrangling over Antonio Conte’s severance package before finally appointing Maurizio Sarri as manager. These clubs met twice in pre-season last summer. The Blues won 3-0 in Beijing before the Gunners lifted the FA Community Shield on penalties after a 1-1 draw.

Chelsea are missing Kurt Zouma after the defender suffered an injury to rule him out of the pre-season tour. The likes of Olivier Giroud, N'Golo Kante, Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois also are all still yet to return from post-World Cup breaks. Callum Hudon-Odoi will be hoping to start against after good display against Inter Milan, completing a front trio alongside Alvaro Morata and Pedro.
