They will face a very different challenge here though with Andoni Iraola's Bournemouth side next up. The Cherries are winless in the league this season with just three draws so far. They have, however, played Tottenham, Liverpool, Brighton and Chelsea already.
Goalscoring has been their issue with just five in the opening six games, only two teams have less. They are, though, set for a more gentle run of games which could go some way to defining their season with matches against Everton, Wolves, Burnley and Sheffield United in the next four weeks.
For Arsenal, they are looking to close the gap to Manchester City and Liverpool at the top and could even see themselves going above Spurs and the Reds and into second if results go their way this weekend. After beating Brentford in the Carabao Cup in midweek it would be the perfect end to a good month for the Gunners.
They have a big two games to come before the international break, taking on Lens in the Champions League and then Manchester City next weekend. First up it's a trip to the south coast.
When is Bournemouth vs Arsenal
The game kicks off at 3pm on Saturday, September 30. It is being played at Bournemouth's home ground, the Vitality Stadium.
