Arsenal and Chelsea head into their matchup with perfect records in the new Premier League season.
BBC pundit Chris Sutton believes that in Sunday’s derby, the Blues may intentionally allow the reigning champions to dominate possession, opting instead for rapid counterattacks.
Sutton stated:
I think Chelsea will let Arsenal have a lot of the ball and try to break quickly on the counter.
The Blues have some brilliant creative players in Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers, and Joao Pedro, but their vulnerabilities in defence could let them down.
Both teams have won their opening two matches of the campaign, with Arsenal beginning their title defence with wins over Coventry and Aston Villa, while Chelsea under Xabi Alonso have also amassed six points.
The Arsenal vs Chelsea match will take place at the Emirates on Sunday.
In a regular feature for BBC, Sutton is forecasting the results for all 380 Premier League matches this season. He will compete in this round with Leicester City fan and Kasabian frontman Serge Pizzorno.
