Arsenal host Chelsea in round 2 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, August 22nd at Emirates Stadium (London)
Arsenal had failed the previous season. The start of the current championship was also unsuccessful. Although the club spent almost $ 100 million on strengthening the roster, the first round for the Gunners ended in defeat. They were visiting Premier League debutant Brentford. Arsenal players had an advantage, but they acted ineffectively in the attack, and there were problems in defense. The hosts converted two chances, and their goalkeeper made four saves. As a result, the newcomer of the championship and an experienced team created the first sensation of the 2021/22 Premier League. As they say, the season is new, but Arsenal is old. In other words, the Gunners continued the indistinct trend of the previous Premier League draw.

After the arrival of Thomas Tuchel, Chelsea have made a big step forward in their development. At the end of the previous season, the team broke into the top four and locked a spot in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League. Moreover, the Blues won the Champions League Cup and managed to get the first trophy at the start of the new season. They defeated Villarreal on penalties in the UEFA Super Cup final. The successful performance of the Pensioners replenished the club's treasury. As a result, the management forked out and bought striker Romelu Lukaku from Inter for 115 million euros. In addition, the Pensioners hammered Crystal Palace in the first round of the Premier League (3-0). There were no problems with the Eagles. The victory was confident. Thus, taking into account the test matches, the unbeaten streak of Chelsea has lasted for seven games.
Chelsea will have a complete advantage in the upcoming confrontation. The team is stronger, and it is in excellent shape. The Blues won the most important European tournaments, have a strong and well-trained roster, and the players are managed by a top experienced coach who demands a lot from them. Arsenal continue to fall. Mikel Arteta is still trying to build something in London, but the Spaniard has little success. Due to indistinct football, some analysts predict the dismissal of Arteta by the tenth round of the Premier League. The Gunners have problems with their squad. In the lost game of the first round against Brentford, Arsenal could not count on a range of key players (Aubameyang, Thomas, Nketia, Gabriel, and Lacazette). It is not yet clear whether these players will be able to appear in the starting lineup on Sunday.
Prediction for the match: Chelsea to win
