Arsenal resume the defence of their Premier League crown this weekend as they take on Everton at the Emirates.
The Gunners enter this game 2nd in the league standings with six wins and one defeat from seven games. It's been a strong start to the season overall for Mikel Arteta's side, who have already played 12 games in all competitions.
From those 12 games, Arsenal have ten wins, one draw and one defeat. That draw came on Wednesday night, where the Gunners drew 2-2 with Bayern Munich in an entertaining game.
The game was fairly even and Arteta will be satisfied with his side's performance, though he'll be concerned by an injury that forced Bukayo Saka off after just nine minutes, meaning Arsenal's forward line is now very stretched.
Saka's injury leaves Martin Odegaard as Arsenal's top scorer (4), with Kai Havertz behind on three goals. There will naturally be a worry about where the goals will come from, so others will now need to step up.
Arsenal are unbeaten in all of their last seven head-to-head meetings with Everton, conceding just two goals in those seven games, so they'll be confident about picking up all three points here.
The Toffees currently sit 8th in the league with ten points from seven games. Everton have started the season decently, though they lost their first game of the season last time out, falling to a 0-2 defeat to Chelsea on home soil.
Though they remained unbeaten through six games, their only wins came against Crystal Palace and Ipswich, so their fans will want to see more from the team in the coming weeks.
It's highly unlikely they'll come away from the Emirates with anything to shout about but manager David Moyes will still hope his team give a good account of themselves.
Arsenal 2-0 Everton
