Both Arsenal and Chelsea will face arguably their sternest tests of the season thus far when they meet at Emirates Stadium nice and early on Saturday morning.
Each side has pleased its fans with mostly entertaining displays to open the season, and each will look to build a bit of momentum by claiming bragging rights in an important crosstown rivalry.
For Arsenal, maintaining the defensive composure that has carried them to an undefeated record will be equally difficult and crucial to taking three points. Conversely, if Chelsea cannot get into an attacking rhythm, despite all their talent and flair, they will have a very hard time getting positive results on the road.
One thing we do know is that some exquisite football will be on offer, with two of the slickest teams in England going head-to-head with something to prove.
The match starts at a brisk 7:45 a.m. ET, and I will be with you a half hour before the match to relay each lineup and team news as it becomes available.
Until then, here are some articles to whet your appetite:
