Лондонгийн дербид Арсенал талбайдаа Челсиг хүлээн авч, улирлын эхний томоохон сорилттойгоо нүүр тулахаар боллоо.
Арсенал энэ удаагийн тоглолтод Раяа, Уайт, Конса, Габриэл, Калафиори, Райс, Льюис-Скелли, Сака, Одегор, Цолис, Хаверц гэсэн гарааны бүрэлдэхүүнтэйгээр талбайд гарна. Сэлгээний бүрэлдэхүүнд Арризабалага, Хинкапие, Эзе, Мерино, Зубименди, Гимараэс, Доуман, Гёкерес болон Мадуэке нар багтжээ. Челсигийн хувьд Мартинес, Ачемпонг, Фофана, Лакруа, Нето, Жеймс, Лавиа, Хато, Палмер, Рожерс, Жоао Педро нар үндсэн бүрэлдэхүүнд багтсан байна.
Арсенал сүүлийн есөн тоглолтод Челсиг хожигдолгүйгээр үдэж, сүүлийн 16 дерби тоглолтод ялагдал амсаагүй байгаа үзүүлэлттэй байна. Хэдийгээр Челси довтолгооны хүчтэй тоглолтыг үзүүлж байгаа ч тэд Арсеналын талбайд хийсэн сүүлийн дөрвөн тоглолтдоо 11-2-ын харьцаатай нийлбэр дүнгээр хожигдоод байгаа юм.
Тоглолт ням гарагт Британийн зуны цагаар 16:30 цагт эхлэх бөгөөд Sky Sports сувгаар шууд дамжуулан үзүүлэхээр төлөвлөжээ. Шинжээчид Челсигийн довтолгооны шугам Арсеналын хамгаалалтыг нэвтэлж, хаалгач Эмилиано Мартинес ч мөн хаалгаа хуурай манаж чадахгүй байх магадлалтай тул тоглолт 2-2-ын харьцаатай тэнцээгээр өндөрлөнө гэсэн таамаг дэвшүүлж байна.

Premier League champions Arsenal face their toughest test of the new campaign so far when they welcome Chelsea to the Emirates.
