Arsenal will face their arch-rivals, Chelsea, in the first London Derby of this season in the Mind Series after their tour of the United States got canceled due to ongoing restrictions of Covid. As a result, Arsenal is still looking to include two more pre-season friendlies before the Premier League season begins to get the new players into shape.
UEFA Champions League winners Chelsea will definitely dominate this tie against their bitter rivals Arsenal who will not make it easy for the European champions. We will witness a hard-fought match between the London rivals in a fairly competitive match where both teams will give it everything.

Their second pre-season friendly will be against London rivals Tottenham who have brought in a new manager to sort out all their troubles. Although they are pretty fast in the transfer market, new players will not show up until the new season begins.
Arsenal will win this fixture ahead of their rivals in a very competitive match where both the teams will battle it out on the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This matchup will be interesting to see as both the teams were not far away from each other in last year’s Premier League table.
