Although Ben White joined Mikel Arteta for £50 million, his team’s performance in the transfer window was frustrating and he lost 2-0 to the newly promoted Brent on the first day of the match. Ford stumbled into the new season in the game.
The performance and results sounded the alarm. If Arsenal want to achieve better results in the eighth place last season, they must cheer up quickly.
As for Chelsea, the Champions League winner this season is expected to become a title contender-especially after re-signing Romelu Lukaku, who is worth 97.5 million pounds. The Blues defeated Crystal Palace 3-0 last weekend and Thomas Tuchel will be confident that he will take another three-pointer in North London… But anything can happen in the Derby.

Arsenal vs. Chelsea team news
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette both missed their trip to Brentford due to illness. Arteta is not sure if these two forwards will be available this weekend.
Eddie Nketiah was originally an option, but he was sidelined due to an ankle injury, while Thomas Partey (ankle) and Gabriel (knee) were also sidelined.
Folarin Balogun encountered difficulties when leading Brentford, and Arteta might be eager to deploy Gabriel Martinelli at the top, with Bucayo Saka on the flank.
As for Chelsea, the club’s record-setting signing of Lukaku is available, and the only question mark is whether he started or came off the bench in the Blues’ second debut.
N’Golo Kante should recover from an ankle injury, although Ruben Loftus-Cheek was absent after testing positive for Covid-19-and Hakim Ziyech is recovering from a shoulder injury he injured in the Super Bowl victory.
Trevor Chaloba has a good start to the season, scoring an unforgettable goal against the Palace, and he may start again here-although Tuchel may be tempted to take Thiago Silva brought him back to the game.
Arsenal’s prediction for Chelsea
On the surface, Chelsea are the favorite team in this derby-but given that Arsenal won both games last season, it would be unwise to support a full victory.
Much depends on whether Obermayan and Lacazette can play, because Arsenal seem to lack the idea of attacking Brentford in their absence.
Nevertheless, Chelsea will still appreciate their chance of winning together with Lukaku.
