Arsenal take on Chelsea in their first London derby of the season, having made a flying start to their Premier League title defence.
The Gunners kicked things off with wins over newly promoted Coventry City before holding off Aston Villa in a 1-0 win last time out, while Chelsea have so far won five- and seven-goal thrillers in an entertaining, if not entirely sustainable start to life under Xabi Alonso.

Both sides have strengthened in another dramatic transfer window, with this match the first chance to see how these new-look squads fare after the window’s close.
Chelsea’s front line including new £117m man Morgan Rogers has looked dangerous so far but the Blues now have a gap in midfield after the £125m sale of Enzo Fernandez; meanwhile Arsenal have sold Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus without bringing in replacements up front.
