Is Arsenal already in crisis?
After just a single week, the Gunners are already under fire after losing their Matchday 1 contest against Premier League debutant Brentford. It was an embarrassing start to the campaign for Mikel Arteta's men, who dominated in possession and shots but were shut out 2-0 by a team playing in its first top-flight match in 74 years.
Now, Arsenal's attention turns to a familiar foe. Unlike Brentford, Chelsea will not allow the Gunners so much of the ball, so chance creation will be at even more of a premium than it was against the Bees. Chelsea's also coming off a pair of excellent season-opening results — first winning the UEFA Super Cup and then opening the league campaign with a 3-0 rout of Crystal Palace.
The high-flying Blues are simply keeping the momentum going from the second half of last season, and they'll provide a formidable challenge to an Arsenal side coming off a demoralizing start to the season.
Can Arteta get his players to forget last week's debacle or will Matchday 2 spell more misery for the Gunners?
