Arsenal vs Chelsea live stream: Watch Premier League week two online

Arsenal face off against good ol’ Chelsea in the second match of the season. Here are all the ways to follow the action.

Arsenal‘s first game didn’t go according to plan. They lost, in better fashion than last year, to reigning champs Manchester City and, in the process, showcased similar problems as last year, including but not limited to an inability to finish, as well as defensive frailties.

It was always a big ask though, for Unai Emery to be able to take down Goliath in his first ever match in charge of the club.

The ask doesn’t get any easier. Now, the Gunners will be travelling to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea, who secured their own win in week one, though not as conclusively as their fans would have liked either.

Still, the Gunners are notoriously poor away from home, they were abysmal last year, and asking them to turn all that around all at once is a similarly big ask. Chelsea may be in their own rebuild, but they have the comfort of their own stadium and less of a shadow to crawl out from than the one that Arsene Wenger is casting over Arsenal.

Unai Emery has already made it clear that not much will change after that opening day loss. Petr Cech will retain his spot in goal despite nearly putting a back pass into his own net. It’s a bold move across the board, but he has a vision, and he is sticking to it. It’s hard to fault him for that before we even see where this is all headed.

If there is any team in the standard top six that the Gunners have their best chance against, it has to be the Blues. Over the past few years, they have actually found a good deal of joy against them, taking points when few expected it and even taking trophies from them in the FA Cup and Community Shield.

This would be an excellent match for Emery to find his footing in. A top-tier club at their own venue would be a fantastic first step towards establishing himself.
