EPL: Arsenal brace for Chelsea test as Spurs seek spark

Arsenal host Chelsea in the Premier League, with both teams having 100 per cent records so far. According to Malay Mail, Arsenal have started their title defence strongly, looking "impenetrable" with a sixth clean sheet in seven league matches, while Chelsea have launched the Xabi Alonso era with three wins in all competitions, looking "dangerous in attack but vulnerable at the back".

Chris Sutton, a former Chelsea star, has predicted that Arsenal will beat Chelsea 3-1, as reported by Daily Post Nigeria. The match is one of several taking place over the weekend, with Tottenham also in action against Nottingham Forest.

Tottenham are currently bottom of the table and are "desperate to stop the rot", according to Malay Mail. New Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola is also still seeking his first win.
