After a couple of weeks back in full Arsenal training, Jack Wilshere played his first (vaguely) competitive football for 14 months, starting and playing 63 minutes of Arsenal U21’s 1-0 defeat to West Brom at the Hawthorns.

In a recent interview with the press, Arsene Wenger revealed that Arsenal were one of the English teams battling it out over Chelsea playmaker Eden Hazard. He was believed to have been out of the Gunner’s reach because of his increased stock, but Arsenal apparently met his £32m release clause, only for Chelsea to beat them on personal terms:

This weeks Premier League game sees an in form Arsenal side play top of the league Chelsea. Arsenal come into the game on the back of an impressive 1-1 draw away to champions Manchester City and a comfortable 6-1 victory over League 1’s Coventry City in the Capital One Cup. Chelsea unconvincingly beat Stoke last weekend 1-0 but remain top of the league after five games.
Strong starters
This season has seen both teams make impressive starts to the season. Two unbeaten starts in all competitions have convinced many people that both teams have the potential to rival the big Manchester clubs for the title this season.
