OFF THE MARK?
14:50: While Unai Emery had good reason to curse the Premier League fixture computer for two tough opening fixtures, the new Arsenal boss could hardly have wished for a better game this weekend to get some points on the board.
Manuel Pellegrini’s side have also lost their first two games, with a predictable thumping at Liverpool followed by a dispiriting home defeat to Bournemouth.
Stadium issues continue to muddy the waters for the unhappy Hammers and Arsenal, who should have scored five in the first half against Chelsea, will be confident of claiming a first win.
