Arsenal get set to welcome London rivals Chelsea to the Emirates on Sunday afternoon.
The reigning Premier League champions have got off to the perfect start in the 2026/27 campaign, defeating newly promoted Coventry City in the opening gameweek before overcoming Unai Emery's Aston Villa on Monday night.
Chelsea have also clinched maximum points from their first two top-flight contests, beating fellow West London outfit Fulham 3-2 and defeating Brighton 4-3 in a lively encounter at Stamford Bridge.
Mikel Arteta has made one change to the Arsenal XI that defeated Aston Villa last time out.
Ezri Konsa makes his first Gunners start since joining the club, entering the team in place of Cristhian Mosquera.
Xabi Alonso has made two alterations to the Chelsea team that lined up to face Brighton.
Josh Acheampong replaces Levi Colwill in defence, while Reece James displaces Malo Gusto in midfield.
Moises Caicedo -- who was replaced by Valentin Barco just 14 minutes after being substituted on last weekend -- is absent from the squad due to injury.
