Arsenal return to Europa League action on Thursday night as they welcome Vitoria SC to the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners go into the game on the back of a disappointing 1-0 defeat at the hands of Sheffield United on Monday night - a result which saw them fail to reclaim third place in the Premier League table.
However, Unai Emery's side have been a different prospect in Europe thus far.
Wins over Eintracht Frankfurt and Standard Liege means the north London outfit are effectively two wins away from sealing a place in the knockout stages.
On paper, Arsenal should win, but Emery has warned against complacency.
"Firstly respect to Guimaraes. They are fourth in the table and a good team, a competitive team," the Spaniard said during his pre-match press conference. "They lost their first two results but very short in the results.
"Tomorrow we are expecting a difficult match. We are for example in the Europa League against Eintracht Frankfurt and Standard Liege a good performance and a good idea in our way to create and to find our way for the future playing aggressively, compact, defensively and offensively very good.
"We have to extend that tomorrow, to do it tomorrow against Vitoria with respect and working to achieve first position in this group.
"We have tomorrow the first opportunity to achieve three points, to get at the end with nine and be first in the group."
Emery has been given one good bit of fitness news with Emile Smith Rowe taking part in a full training session.
The attacking midfielder hasn't featured following a clash of heads during the 5-0 Carabao Cup third round win over Nottingham Forest last month and will be looking to make his comeback.
He along with the likes of Mesut Ozil, Alexandre Lacazette, Kieran Tierney, Hector Bellerin and Lucas Torreira were put through their paces at the club's training base at London Colney on Wednesday afternoon.
