Get £30 in Free Bets for our Arsenal vs Chelsea Bet Builder

The first big game clash of the Premier League season takes place this weekend as Arsenal take on Chelsea.

The Gunners have two wins from two games after beating Coventry (3-0) and Aston Villa (1-0). It's been a strong start to the season for Mikel Arteta's side who, after also beating Man City 3-0 in the Community Shield, are yet to concede a goal.

There is frustration amongst the fan base that reinforcements in the forward areas did not arrive this summer, meaning they might not get the more exciting brand of football they were hoping for, but they're going to remain exceptionally tough to beat.

Chelsea have six points from two games following wins against Fulham (3-2) and Brighton (4-3).

All the talk has been about the Blues' free flowing front three with Joao Pedro, Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers displaying an encouraging amount of natural synergy

However, there are concerns around the side's defensive security, which has been frequently breached in the opening games.

That may not bode well for a game against the champions, so it'll be interesting to see how they hold up.

We've created a fantastic 30/1 bet builder tip to accompany bet365's new customer offer, in which you can claim £30 in Free Bets that you can use on Sunday afternoon's kick-off.

Kai Havertz To Have 1+ Shots On Target

Kai Havertz has become a key cog in Mikel Arteta's system and is expected to keep Viktor Gyokeres out of the team. In the last three seasons, Havertz has averaged 0.92 shots on target per 90 in the Premier League.

Joao Pedro To Have 1+ Shots On Target
