two london clubs who are quite simply steeped in tradition
and when they lock horns the sparks tend to fly stay tuned and we'll bring
you all the action from stamford bridge as chelsea take on arsenal
stamford bridge is the venue i must say the weather has certainly cooperated it's beautiful
here today i'm derek ray ready to bring you commentary and joining me is the former arsenal
defender lee dixon i'm very much looking forward to bringing you action from the premier league
it's chelsea up against arsenal yeah thanks derek should be a good game this one i always wanted to
start the game on the front foot fast play force the opposition to respond hopefully we get that
from the start of this match well the season ticket holders here at stanford bridge have
been truly spoiled because just have a look at chelsea's home record wonderful stuff lee yeah
10 wins in 10 games tells you what's going on at this hostile fortress of the ground
they've built such a reputation here it's hard to see any team beating them on their own patch
here's the lineup for chelsea we're thinking four three three
yeah one central striker derek the width comes from the wingers who will stay high
and wide very narrow midfield and a conventional back four and so they started 11 for arsenal
and this is a formation most people in the game are very familiar with nowadays yeah most
coaches are adopting this formation what it does give you is two holding players in front of the
back four to protect them but it also gives you three supporting players to that central striker
it ought to be a really interesting battle chelsea kick off
rice with it
harvest
this is aspini and dispossessed
and he read it well and he's through here and a goal not bad for starters late take an early
lead well here's the replay it's a really lovely through ball and once he gets himself
settled with the keeper to beat he hammers it into the back of the net smashing goal
arsenal restart the game then and they have work to do as they try to wipe out that last goal
i understand there's been a change to the scoreline in the brentford match alan mcadamie
can provide us with the details it's a goal for liverpool eight minutes played one nil
another macanally with his finger on the pulse z
and there to intervene
pulisic now with habits nothing to take on the shots crucial block from david luiz
martinelli
definitely look as though they want to make this move counts
jakarta it was a fine looking attack but now they've given the ball away
a news of a goal in the palace game alan macanally with more it's a goal
for tottenham hotspur 18 minutes played one nil thank you alan macanally and he's broken free
oh and that is an audacious chip well he might smile the goalkeeper has no interest in smiling
well this is worth another look derek lovely movement and gail to easily evade the defender
and all of the finishes you can use to put the ball in the net
the chip is probably the most surprising of all lovely goal
so two-nil now
nothing comes up the attack when all is said and done chelsea's certainly enjoying
the lion's share of possession if you have that much of the ball you can put pressure
on the opposition defense and they look like the creaking that's why they're winning comfortably
well it was a very good looking move but alas no end product corte
now hold on
and pull back good defending to prevent the chance
news of a girl in the brighton game alan mcaday with details it's a goal for league
united 31 minutes played one nil regular updates from alan mcinally along the way
chillwell
declan rice kante well it didn't happen for them in attack
rice holland now kante ziesh
well that took a deflection that'll be a corner
and firing it into the area did his job defensively
angola kante can they take advantage well he stopped it out of there without much fuss
and overcomes the corner and clearing us away
aspie cueta now with habits
poland ziesh and david luiz gets in the way
martin erdogan gabrielle martinelli and there goes the halftime whistle chelsea living up to
the billing as the team with the best home record in the league league yes another great performance
after the first 45 minutes they just seem to be enjoying their football right now moving the ball
well plenty of pace in there into the second half then and arsenal with a real mountain to climb
promising pass
so a throw in here
well that's a really good authoritative tackle throw in here
aspiely cueta now with havoc rather sitting ever deeper
and a goal to increase their advantage to three can they be stopped
well as the ball comes through he's not got an awful lot of time
or space but he gets the power from somewhere and it's a brilliant finish
well the girl again albeit from a different angle well enjoy the good days as a coach
it could be a rollercoaster ride i can tell you that three goals without reply
declan rice chilwell
and that's a straightforward stop
and a really fascinating transfer story one we've been following for a while we don't
need to follow it anymore because sergio roberto has completed his move to paris asia manly well
derek reported fee close to 25 million pounds he's not bad he should have an impact i quite like him
now what can they do from here fluency of movement
granite jacker
well not great defending
and there to intervene not the easiest of situations for the keeper
well he's given a corner they referee
played into the center of the box but fists it away by the goalkeeper
can they do something positive on the counter attack
and they'll regard that as a very disappointing end to the move
covert lewin it should be
corner kit given to arsenal
and now the delivery and news of a girl when the city game alan mcadaley it's
a second goal for manchester city it's been scored by harry kane it was on target when he
great and i'll opportunity you what on this sort of form very few would lay a glove on them
well here it is again and it's all about the pace in transition it was so quick to get out
from the back and then threw on goal do you go for placement or do you go for power well he certainly
wasn't messing around was he absolutely smashes it past the keeper it's a really lovely finish
well if there were any lingering doubts about the outcome surely they now have been removed
well we always enjoy bringing you live action on ea tv and premier league action coming up
it's chelsea facing bretford yeah that looks a great match up doesn't it looking forward
to some fast flowing football there hold on good work to regain possession
well apologies to alan macanally for having to cut him off in that fashion just to confirm
manchester city did score in that game and they're locked together in a thriller now at 2-2 willian
covert lewin making sure nothing untoward happened
only 10 minutes remaining here
ziesh
that's pb quetta and the cross into the middle and the danger's still on and he's only gone
and made it to hat-trick well when he's in this sort of mood he's absolutely unstoppable what a
performance
well here's the replay and there'll be a few accusing glances after that clearance
giving away the ball there is criminal and at this level
quite honestly you get punished slightly different vantage point in terms of the goal that was scored
oh my goodness it's so one-sided five-nil in this match
and five minutes to go a goal has been scored in the crystal palace match alan macanally with
details it's a second goal for tottenham hotspur three minutes remain two nil cheers again allen
now can they create something
crucial block from david luiz oh buried underneath an avalanche of goals no less up here
wow what technique when the ball comes to you and you don't need a touch and you can just
whack it first time like this what a goal let's have another view of that goal
oh to be a fly on the wall in that dressing room if it stays like this derrick he's not happy
just look at him and as they restart the game it's fair to say the golf in quality
between the two sides has been huge so the final whistle and what we can say
officially now is that chelsea picked up maximum points from this fixture
lee your thoughts well it was a very assured performance wasn't it particularly impressive
up front their forwards really hit form today the result was never much in doubt if i'm honest you
