Arsenal and Chelsea will renew their rivalry on Sunday as both teams meet in the first North West London derby of the 2026/27 Premier League season at the Emirates Stadium.
The fixture marks the conclusion of the third Premier League weekend, with both sides heading into the encounter having made perfect starts to the new campaign after winning their opening two league matches.
Arsenal began their season with a convincing 3-0 victory over Coventry City before securing a narrow 1-0 away win against Aston Villa at Villa Park. The results have placed Mikel Arteta’s side among the early pace-setters in the title race.
Chelsea have also enjoyed a strong start to their new campaign, collecting maximum points from their opening fixtures and arriving at the Emirates with confidence as they look to continue their unbeaten run.
The derby is expected to be a tactical battle between two teams with ambitions of challenging for major honours this season. Arsenal will rely on their defensive organisation and home advantage, while Chelsea will look to their attacking options to cause problems for the hosts.
The Emirates Stadium encounter also provides both clubs with an opportunity to make an early statement in what is expected to be a highly competitive Premier League season.
With both teams level on points and yet to drop points in the league, the result could have an early impact on the momentum of the two London rivals.
