The Gameweek order of play delivers a potential cracker to get us started, with Chelsea – reeling off the back of three defeats in four – playing host to Arsenal at Stamford Bridge. The Blues have dominated this fixture in recent years – winning their last three home meetings by an aggregate of 10-1 – but are yet to register a win on their own turf this campaign.

The Blues lie just one place above the relegation berths after five outings, having conceded more goals (12) than any other Premier League side. To further underline their failings at the back, Newcastle have conceded just one more shot inside the box (50) than the champions. Jose Mourinho will demand a dramatic improvement on the attacking front, too, given that Chelsea are yet to record a “big chance” at home this term.

Despite ranking top for attempts (112), shot inside the box (79) and big chances (17) by some margin, Arsenal have just five goals to their name – exposing some poor finishing. No team in the league possesses a worst shot conversion rate (4.5%) than the Gunners, offering hope to those patient managers still in possession of Chelsea defenders.

    Had wilson captain until 5 mins before the deadline, when I lost my cool and switched to Aguero.

    He had better finally deliver this evening.

      I am the exact opposite, wouldn't bet against Aguero scoring though

    Could Sunderland possibly be any worse? It's hard to see how.

      Maybe if they were Newcastle, though...

    Having Ighalo in my team somewhat makes up for benching Hazard and captaining Cazorla!
