The pick of the weekend’s English Premier League fixtures sees defending champs Arsenal host a Chelsea team on Sunday that appears to be growing in confidence under new boss, Xabi Alonso.

Despite a summer that has seen its top stars left exhausted by their involvement in the World Cup, the Gunners have nevertheless not skipped a beat since returning to action. They eased past Manchester City in the Charity Shield before laying down an early marker with convincing back-to-back EPL wins over Coventry and Aston Villa.

Chelsea, meanwhile, looks likely to be relishing an opportunity to take on its London rivals following an unbeaten start to the campaign. Wins over Fulham in the West London derby, followed by an entertaining 4-3 win over Brighton, have underlined the Blues’ attacking threat following the signing of Morgan Rogers. This while also suggesting that Alonso may be helping key man Cole Palmer rediscover the deadly form he showed a couple of seasons ago.

Arsenal takes on Chelsea on Sunday, Sept. 6, at the Emirates Stadium in North London, with kickoff set for 4:30 p.m. BST. That makes it an 11:30 a.m. ET or 8:30 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada, and a 1:30 a.m. AEST kickoff in Australia on Monday morning.

If you’re traveling abroad and want to keep up with all the EPL action while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming. 

VPNs encrypt your traffic and prevent your internet service provider from throttling your speeds and can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security. 

However, some streaming services may have policies that restrict VPN use for accessing region-specific content. If you’re considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform’s terms of service to ensure compliance. 

If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider’s installation instructions to ensure you’re connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN usage is crucial.
