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.

When is Arsenal vs Chelsea?

Arsenal host Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday 6 September, with kick-off at 4.30pm BST.

How can I watch it?

Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the match live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League. A live stream will be available via Sky Go and NOW.

Team news

Jurrien Timber and William Saliba remain absent for the hosts as they recover from injuries, while there are doubts over Cristhian Mosquera, who came off against Villa, and Bruno Guimaraes. Mikel Arteta confirmed both players will be checked on Saturday but said Ezri Konsa is available to start if Mosquera cannot.

Moises Caicedo faces a late fitness check after he lasted just 14 minutes against Brighton last weekend. Chelsea were unable to replace Enzo Fernandez before the deadline closed, with a deal for Monaco’s Lamine Camara collapsing at the 11th hour. Reece James and Valentin Barco could shift into midfield if Caicedo is injured.

Predicted line-ups

Arsenal XI: Raya; White, Mosquera, Gabriel, Calafiori; Lewis-Skelly, Rice, Odegaard; Saka, Havertz, Eze

Chelsea XI: Martinez; Fofana, Lacroix, Colwill; Gusto, James, Lavia, Hato; Palmer, Pedro, Rogers
