Arsenal have made a confident start to the new Premier League campaign. In the opening round, Mikel Arteta's side comfortably defeated Coventry City (3:0), before edging Aston Villa (1:0) away from home in the second round. The hosts' defensive line, led by David Raya, has displayed outstanding solidity, allowing the team to control the flow of matches.
Chelsea, under Xabi Alonso, have also started the Premier League with a perfect record. The Blues first defeated Fulham away from home (3:2), then held on for a home victory over Brighton (4:3). Sitting among the league leaders, Chelsea possess tremendous attacking potential, but they have also consistently shown defensive vulnerabilities.

Home advantage and Arsenal's excellent balance across all areas of the pitch make them the favorites for this London derby. The hosts' disciplined defensive structure will be a major obstacle for a Chelsea side accustomed to playing open football. Having already conceded five goals in two league matches, the Blues' recurring defensive issues should be punished by Arsenal's well-drilled attack, leading the Gunners to victory.
