Mikel Arteta's men are sitting pretty in third, but their performances have been anything but. Arsenal's trademark sense of doom has been a fixture of their most recent five-game stretch, which featured the defensive masterclass against Man City, and a pair of frenzied last-gasp comebacks at home to Premier League new boys Leicester and Southampton. Arteta can call on one of the league's deepest pools of attacking talent, but needs to get more out of Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard, Kai Havertz and Mikel Merino.
Losing Dominic Solanke to Spurs on the eve of the campaign was always going to take some getting over, but signs are positive already. Bournemouth's xG (Expected Goals) is one of the highest in the league, which is scant consolation for fans frustrated at their profligacy, though it does hint at an impending ketchup bottle avalanche. With Evanilson still finding his feet, Antoine Semenyo has been exceptional.
Tune in to find out who comes out on top, and make sure you don’t miss any of the EPL action with our how to watch Premier League live streams guide.
