Chelsea put their early-season Premier League title hopes to the test on Sunday when they face reigning champions Arsenal at Emirates Stadium.
Back-to-back wins over Fulham and Brighton and Hove Albion in the opening matchweeks have led some observers to suggest the Blues could be part of a title race this term under new boss Xabi Alonso.
Sunday's London derby could offer some insight as to whether such optimism might be premature. Arsenal have started the season with two wins and no goals conceded against Coventry City and Aston Villa, and their only home defeats in the whole of 2025/26 in all competitions came at the hands of Manchester United in January and Bournemouth in April.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the weekly schedule.
