Match Preview | |
Arsenal will have a tough match against Chelsea in the 2nd match week of the Premier League 2021/22 which will take place at the Emirates Stadium, Sunday (22/08/2021) at 9:00 p.m. Indian time.
Arsenal started the Premier League this season with bad results. Facing the promotion team Brentford, Arsenal surprisingly gave up with a score of 0-2. These results make the Gunners are now in position seventeen standings with a collection of 0 points.
Facing Chelsea in this match, Mikel Arteta as Arsenal coach clearly must be able to rise to maintain the security of his position. The reason is, if the results reap negative results, it is very likely that he will be fired.
However, winning over Chelsea is definitely not an easy matter. Especially now that the Blues are confident ahead of this match.
Chelsea currently occupies the second position of the standings with a collection of 3 points. In the opening match, Chelsea was able to pick up a 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace through goals from Marcos Alonso, Christian Pulisic, and Trevoh Chalobah.
These results clearly add to Chelsea's confidence ahead of this match against Arsenal. Moreover, previously Chelsea also just won the UEFA Super Cup after beating Villarreal.
Arsenal and Chelsea have only recently met, namely at the beginning of last August in a test match which took place at the Emirates Stadium. In that match, Arsenal gave up with a score of 1-2 to Chelsea. Chelsea opened the scoring first through Kai Havertz's goal in the 26th minute. Arsenal had equalized through Granit Xhaka in the 69th minute. However, Chelsea re-locked the victory through Tammy Abraham's goal in the 72nd minute.
This match was the 184th meeting between the two teams. Arsenal was able to win 71 wins and Chelsea won 61 wins, while the other 52 matches ended in a draw.
If you look at the current performance of the two teams, Chelsea will clearly be more favored over Arsenal in this match.
However, Chelsea still has to be vigilant considering that Arsenal will benefit from the full support of the fans in this match.
