While the delay gave Chelsea time to improve, it was a different story for Arsenal, who started the season brilliantly.
The 3-1 defeat to Manchester United was a blow, but there are still positives to be drawn from Mikel Arteta’s performance at Old Trafford, and the leaders of the table will look to be back in the Premier League to continue their good trend.
Sunday against Everton should be the perfect time, as Frank Lampard’s side have yet to win this season and many of his key players have been sidelined, including goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
And with closest rivals Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur clashing at Etihad Stadium (their match has also been postponed), this past weekend was also the perfect time to get away from one or both.
