Preview
Chelsea's title defence may have gotten off to a rocky start in Week 1, but with wins against Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City under their belt, the Blues appear to be rounding into form.
Manager
Antonio Conte rotated his squad somewhat in midweek and still got the
result he needed in the UEFA Champions League, a positive sign ahead of
Sunday's big match.
Alvaro Morata has stolen
the headlines early this season for the Blues. Per the club's official
Twitter account, he hopes he can soon show off another facet of his
game:
He's not the only striker new to London who has
enjoyed a solid start to the campaign. Arsenal's front man Alexandre
Lacazette has scored one less goal but has flashed all of his upside,
giving the Gunners hope they have finally found the man to spearhead
their attack in the central areas.
In their
last outing in the league, the Frenchman combined very well with Danny
Welbeck, but fans and pundits alike are anxious to see how he can
combine with Alexis Sanchez against an elite defence.
The Chilean has started just one Premier League match so far, and the summer saga involving Manchester City
and a late transfer had plenty of people questioning his future. Chile
team-mate Claudio Bravo was adamant Sanchez was anxious to move on, per
