Arsenal brace for Chelsea test as Spurs seek spark
AFP Sport looks at three talking points ahead of the action.
Tottenham are on the brink of a crucial test as they prepare to face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, while Arsenal hosts Chelsea in what promises to be a high-stakes encounter. Both Arsenal and Xabi Alonso's Chelsea have won their first two league games this season, joining Manchester City and Hull in that achievement. Tottenham, on the other hand, are currently at the bottom of the table, anxiously awaiting their match against Nottingham Forest.
Liverpool's new manager Andoni Iraola is still searching for his first win, after recent draws with Newcastle and Nottingham Forest. A key talking point centers on Arsenal's formidable defense and Chelsea's attacking prowess, with the latter's new trio of Joao Pedro, Cole Palmer, and Morgan Rogers contributing five of their seven league goals this season.
Conversely, Tottenham's struggles are well-documented, with Roberto De Zerbi maintaining optimism despite their recent defeats. Meanwhile, Liverpool manager Iraola aims to stabilize his squad after conceding four goals in their opening two matches. Fixtures are scheduled across Friday and Sunday, with Arsenal facing Chelsea at 1530 GMT.
