Two new London managers go head to head on Saturday as Maurizio Sarri’s Chelsea host Unai Emery’s Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.Both clubs have made big changes this summer in terms of personnel, with each club hoping their new coaches can usher in new eras of style and success.
Chelseagot off to the perfect start with a 3-0 win at Huddersfield, whileArsenal’s2018-19 Premier League campaign spluttered into life with a 2-0 home defeat against champions Manchester City.
