Super Sunday
Afternoon and welcome to the first installment of a Super Sunday of football.
Whilst, Liverpool and Newcastle United will contest the first Wembley showpiece of the year, the blockbuster action starts here at the Emirates.
The game was originally planned for Saturday but was switched to Sunday due to European commitments for both Arsenal and Chelsea. Nonetheless, it adds that bit more intrigue.
The Gunners’ up-and-down scoring results make discourse around the impending acquisition of a big name striker go from one extreme to another.
The same can be said for their West London neighbours, who used to be able to usher centre-forward concerns by the brilliance of Cole Palmer, but his cold form has heightened appreciation for Nicolas Jackson aswell as the need for more senior presence in the summer.
There will likely be no title race in London this season, but the Champions League provides motivation—for both teams—qualifying is imperative and today provides a big opportunity to do so. Kick off at 1.30pm GMT. Team news to come.
