\"Chelsea<\/p>\n

Two new managers go head-to-head in their first London derby on Saturday evening when Chelsea host Arsenal at Stamford Bridge. Maurizio Sarri and Unai Emery had vastly differing results in their first weekend though, as Sarri\u2019s Chelsea beat Huddersfield 3-0, while Emery\u2019s Arsenal lost at home to Manchester City 2-0.<\/p>\n

It was the perfect start for Chelsea, who easily beat Huddersfield, with goals coming from N\u2019Golo Kante, Jorginho and Pedro, while Eden Hazard came off the bench after his heroics with Belgium in Russia earlier this summer. It was a far cry from their Community Shield game against Manchester City, where they were torn apart, but it was an encouraging start to life for Sarri in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

As for Arsenal, it was a case of new manager, but same old result as they succumbed to a 2-0 defeat at home to champions Manchester City. It\u2019s still early days for them under Unai Emery though and the fixture list has been particularly unkind to them, with the fact that they face both Manchester City and Chelsea in the opening weeks of the season. They\u2019re a work in progress as last weekend\u2019s game showed.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to look past Chelsea in this game. They look ahead of Arsenal in terms of their progress under their new manager, while they also boast home advantage. The one problem they might face is dealing with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang\u2019s pace, which could trouble their defenders. Kepa Arrizabalaga could also be tested, having not had much to do last weekend. Still, I\u2019d expect Chelsea to win this game, especially as Eden Hazard is likely to start.<\/p>\n
