Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea result, stats and report

Chelsea put Bournemouth to the sword with a dominant 5-1 victory, with Jordan Henderson grabbing a brace and João Pedro netting twice before half-time had even settled. Bournemouth's four yellow cards told the story of a side that had no answer and no plan.

Sunderland host Chelsea on Sunday having conceded ten goals in their last five Premier League matches. The visitors arrive unpredictable, leaky, and dangerous in equal measure.

Arsenal return to the Emirates on the back of four wins from five, but Hull City have drawn three of their last five and will not roll over. Saturday could be more of a contest than people think.

Liverpool have not lost in five Premier League matches but Arsenal arrive at Anfield having won four of their last five. Something has to give on Sunday.

Mikel Arteta has confirmed Piero Hincapié and Martín Zubimendi were both injured in a bespoke post-match training session he has run without incident for seven years, a self-inflicted blow that thins Arsenal's squad ahead of a must-win Champions League tie with Lille.

Cole Palmer has signed a new Chelsea contract until 2034, upgrading terms agreed just two years ago and joining Joao Pedro and Geovany Quenda on matching deals. The extension comes despite an injury-hit season that cost Palmer his England World Cup spot, as Chelsea double down on their long-term contract strategy.

Mikel Arteta says Arsenal's comeback win over Leeds proved his side had rediscovered the identity questioned after their Brighton defeat. But with Rice, Havertz and Konsa only just restored to fitness and Guimaraes and Timber dropped, the lineup tells a more uncertain story than the manager's confident framing suggests.
