Preview:
Arsenal take on London-rivals Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. With both teams having impressive players in their ranks and will both want to win this game, it should make for an exciting tie.
Arsenal have struggled in the Premier League over the past few years and will need to be at their best to return to the European stage this season. The Gunners suffered a shock defeat at the hands of Brentford last week and cannot afford another debacle in this match.
Chelsea, on the other hand, have excelled over the past year and won the UEFA Champions League under Thomas Tuchel. The Blues can pack a punch on their day and will be more of a threat now that Romelu Lukaku has joined the squad.
