Arsenal this summer only bring two players, namely Sead Kolasinac and Alexandre Lacazette. So far, both have adapted well to the philosophy of playing Arsene Wenger, especially Kolasinac which was brought free from Schalke 04.

The 24-year-old left back came to England with the title as one of the Bundesliga's best left-backs. Kolasinac also proves it with two goals scored and his three assists for Arsenal this season.

Eden Hazard Not Surrender

Chelsea braved victory against Bournemouth at Vitality Stadium. One Hazard goal enough to bring the Blues home with three points. Hazard was happy with his goal scoring. He feels the goal is very important for his team's trip this season to retain the Premier League title.
