How to watch Arsenal vs Chelsea on TV with channel, live stream and team news

Arsenal and Chelsea will renew their rivalry in the Premier League this weekend, just weeks after the Blues defeated the Gunners in pre-season.

Mikel Arteta's side are under enormous pressure following a 2-0 defeat to Brentford on the opening night of the season and are set for challenging back-to-back fixtures against the European champions and Manchester City.

Chelsea, meanwhile, are chasing the title in the league this season and laid down a mantle to the rest of their rivals with a comfortable 3-0 victory against Crystal Palace last time out.

Arsenal secured rare home-and-away wins in the meetings between the two sides last season, with Chelsea looking to set the record straight this year.
