Cardiff vs Arsenal LIVE: Latest score and updates as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang puts Gunners back in front
Arsenal travel west to take on a Cardiff City side that are yet to score a goal in the Premier League this season, with all eyes on Unai Emery’s selection as he recalls Mesut Özil but leaves Lucas Torreira on the bench.
Özil missed last weekend’s victory over West Ham United that saw Arsenal record their first win of the season, having picked up yet another illness that ruled him out of the game. The German has trained all week though, convincing Emery to start with the attacking midfielder despite beating West Ham last weekend without him. That means Uruguay midfielder Torreira is yet to win his first start, having been used as a substitute so far this season.
Cardiff meanwhile are yet to win a game this season, and will hope to recover from the disappointing midweek defeat by Norwich City in the Carabao Cup in order to give their home fans something to cheer about.
A really good match with both sides showing their strengths and flaws in equal measure but the quality of Arsenal shone through in the end with match-winner and man of the match Alexandre Lacazette shining brightly above the rest.
Goals from Mustafi and Aubameyang had twice given the Gunners the lead before Camarasa and Ward equalised for the Bluebirds but the Frenchman's late strike secured the three points for Arsenal who move into the top half and claim their first away points under Unai Emery.
More to come at 4pm as Burnley host Manchester United and Watford host Tottenham.

This is one hell of a chance in the last minute and it's once again come from a Cardiff free-kick.
The ball is flicked on towards Gary Madine who catches Petr Cech in no mans land and slots the ball back to Kenneth Zohore who chips it into the mixer where Sean Morrison rises highest to try and head into the unguarded net.
Sadly for him and Cardiff, he gets too much on it.
He's been Arsenal's star man this afternoon and he deserves his goal more than most.
Torreira slips him in from the edge of the box and he turns Bamba a bit too easily but his finish is sublime as he fires the ball into the roof of net beyond the helpless Neil Etheridge.
When they get bodies forward, they really make themselves a nuisance. They press and win the ball back and Reid is running in on goal with option either side.
He goes himself though and his shot is just a little bit tame and Cech gathers thankfully.
Good work from Bellerin sets up an Arsenal corner and it's swung in with pace where Lacazette flicks it on.
The pace makes it hard for Etheridge to gather and the keeper spills it to Mustafi who's lurking and dives for the ball but the Cardiff stopper just manages to reclaim under pressure and got a little nick on the way.
Just like in the first half, Joe Ralls floats a ball into the area which Sean Morrison once again knocks down to a fellow Cardiff player.
This time though, it's Danny Ward who the opportunity falls to and his header is marvellously directed to the far post where Petr Cech just cannot reach and it bounces off the post and in.
It's been coming with all the possession Arsenal have been having and it really is a delightful goal and this will help Lacazette's chances of staying in the starting XI.
He receives the ball with his back to goal and provides a lovely flick into the feet of Aubameyang who has been cutting in from the left-hand side in the last few minutes.
This time it proves fatal for Cardiff as he unleashes that right-foot and smashes his curling effort beyond Etheridge.
Arsenal re-take the lead. Can they keep hold of it?
