Chelsea are looking to continue their unbeaten start to the Premier League season when they face Arsenal on Sunday afternoon.

Xabi Alonso's side have made the perfect beginning to life under the Spaniard, winning both of their opening two league games against Fulham and Brighton and Hove Albion, scoring a total of seven goals but conceding five.

They come up against Arsenal, who won the Premier League last season, who also maintain a 100 per cent start, but there is a key difference. They are the only side who have yet to concede a goal.

Chelsea's away record at the Emirates doesn't make for good reading either. It is a huge obstacle for the Blues to try to overcome, having lost their last four, with their last win coming in 2021 after a 2-0 win under then-boss Thomas Tuchel.

Here are all the details you need ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash against Arsenal.

Date: Sunday 6th September 2026

Kick-off time: 4.30pm (UK)

Stadium: Emirates Stadium

Chelsea are waiting to learn the fitness of Moises Caicedo. He missed their opening two games against Fulham and Luton Town in the Carabao Cup before returning last weekend against Brighton and coming on off the bench. But he suffered a setback and had to be taken off, leaving the Blues sweating over his fitness.

He has been in training this week and Alonso confirmed a decision would be made on Saturday, with Chelsea looking to keep their team news private to offer Arsenal uncertainty as they prepare for Sunday's derby.

Emiliano Martinez will make his second appearance and is expected to be behind the back three of Wesley Fofana, Maxence Lacroix and Levi Colwill. Josh Acheampong will be desperate to start given his impressive start to the campaign.

Reece James will captain the side in midfield, with Romeo Lavia the likely starter if Caicedo isn't deemed ready to start.

Chelsea will continue with their dangerous front-three of Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers and Joao Pedro. After beating Arsenal to the signature of Rogers, he will be desperate to silence the Emirates crowd.

For viewers in the United Kingdom, the Premier League fixture will be available to watch live on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League, and Sky Go.
