Both English clubs standoff against slightly easier competition than what they use to. Not to be taken lightly, but nothing less than three points expected from both London clubs.
The baby sister cup of the Champions League features Arsenal up against Qarabag FK, in the early part of the evening, while Chelsea take on Videoton FC later the in the night. The former will be the travellers and the latter, host a London event at Stamford Bridge.
The most exciting aspect of these two encounters, both English clubs could rest their best players, giving their youngsters the opportunity to run out and have a few minutes on the pitch – playing European football.

🤔 Most exciting matchday two fixture? #UEL
If there’s no time for the aforementioned – then it’s a time to get your best players going, firing, and finding confidence. But quite frankly… Both, Chelsea and Arsenal need no such thing.

The two have been sensational form in recent weeks, one more so than the other. Considering both Premier League clubs’ oppositions over the weekend past – they should be easing through their respective fixtures later. But nothing must be taken lightly – football is a strange thing.
