EPL 2021-22: Arsenal vs Chelsea Full Preview, Live Coverage, Prediction, Online Channel, When & Where to watch
EPL 2021-22 Arsenal vs Chelsea Match Preview – The London Derby will be presented at the Emirates Stadium in Week 2 of the Premier League 2021/22, Sunday (22/8/2021). Arsenal will host Chelsea.
For Arsenal, it looks like it will be a tough match. One of them is that their strength and performance is quite a contrast when compared to their city rivals. In addition, from the Chelsea camp, Romelu Lukaku is also ready to make his second debut.
Lukaku is an important key behind Inter Milan’s success in winning the Scudetto Serie A last season. Starting this season, the Belgian striker, who was recorded as a Chelsea player for the 2011-2014 period and had scored 113 goals in the Premier League, returned to the Blues uniform .
In the first week, Arsenal lost 0-2 at home to promoted team Brentford, even though Mikel Arteta’s men recorded a total of 22 shots. It was definitely not the first step they had hoped for.

On the other hand, Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea concoction successfully passed its first test with satisfactory results. Chelsea won 3-0 at home to Crystal Palace through Marcos Alonso’s free kick, Christian Pulisic’s goal, and young player Trevoh Chalobah’s long-range shot.
Chelsea is already very strong. Plus Lukaku, Chelsea is believed to be getting stronger. For Arsenal, who are likely to go down with a crippled squad, this is definitely not a pleasant situation.
