Arsenal take on Lille in the Champions League group phase this week as they look to make it two wins from two in the competition.
Arsenal come into this game in decent shape, 2nd in the Premier League table having won four of their last five games.
At the weekend, the Gunners secured a 2-1 win over Leeds United, a result that was hard-fought given they were posed numerous problems by a determined Leeds side.
In their first European game of the season, Arsenal ran out 1-0 winners away at Napoli. The scoreline flattered the home side immensely as Mikel Arteta's side were utterly dominant throughout, and they'll be heavy favourites to dispatch Lille here.
The win over Leeds means over 2.5 goals have been scored in six of Arsenal's nine games in all competitions this season, a trend which is unsurprising given their playing style has shown signs of being much more open this season.
Despite dealing with a number of injuries, Arsenal's squad is deep enough to maintain an excellent level, so there can be no excuses if they fail to take three points here.
Lille, meanwhile, are 2nd in Ligue 1 with four wins, one draw and one defeat from six games. It's been a positive start to the season for the French side who are looking to build on a good campaign last time out.
They did, though, lose 2-3 at home to Real Betis in their opening Champions League fixture, which was a hugely disappointing result given that's a contest they would've earmarked as one of the more winnable when the draw was made.
Having qualified for the Champions League on ten occasions, Lille have only ever qualified for the knockout stage three times. A game at the Emirates is highly unlikely to be anything other than a defeat, and that's what we're backing here.
Arsenal 3-0 Lille
