They can be on a tear in the Premier League, dispatching teams left and right, only to then go and lose 1-0 away to Porto in the Champions League.
Arsenal-Porto-defeat
Yes, Mikel Arteta's men certainly had a night to forget on Wednesday, but that shouldn't overshadow just how good they have been domestically.
The Gunners have won five on the spin for the first time this season and have done so in style, with an aggregate score of 21-2.
So, while there will need to be a few tweaks here and there to the lineup that'll face Newcastle United, there doesn't need to be wholesale change.
And with a number of players currently out through injury, Arteta can only make so many alterations anyway.
Arsenal's InjuryLeandro-Trossard
The final place in the team also brings the final change.
Leandro Trossard keeps his place in the team but moves back out to the left and pushes Gabriel Martinelli onto the bench.
Now, the young Brazilian might have a brighter long-term future at Arsenal than the 29-year-old, but the Belgian is in better form at the moment.
In his last five Premier League games, the former Brighton & Hove man has scored four goals compared to Martinelli's three in the same period.
