It is too early to say this is Chelsea’s title to lose; but any club finishing above them has a fair chance of being champions.
This was the first sight of a Thomas Tuchel team that includes Romelu Lukaku and most definitely a marker was laid down. Lukaku scored, two Arsenal men were booked trying to contain him, and Bernd Leno produced the save of the match tipping his header onto the bar after 77 minutes.
The game was won, pretty much, by the time Chelsea went two clear 11 minutes before half-time and although Arsenal were much improved on their opening game at Brentford, they are not in Chelsea’s class.
