Arsenal will be looking to climb into the Premier League's top five with victory against Aston Villa on Sunday.
Dean Smith's side travel to the Emirates Stadium after a solid start to their campaign, having stayed up by the skin of their teeth last season.
The Gunners are currently one point behind fifth-placed Everton and two points off rivals Tottenham in fourth. They are level on 12 points with Villa, who are eighth, but Sunday's opponents have a game in hand.
Arsenal remain without long-term absentees Gabriel Martinelli, Pablo Mari and Calum Chambers going into Sunday's match, while the visitors will be without Bertrand Traore, Tom Heaton and Wesley Moraes.
Pundits have unanimously backed Mikel Arteta's side to earn all three points against Villa and register their fourth consecutive win in all competitions ahead of the upcoming international break.

"I was very impressed by Arsenal at Old Trafford last weekend. They fully deserved their win and Thomas Partey already looks a force in midfield.
"After a good result like that, the Gunners need to push on and show they have eradicated the defensive mistakes that have cost them in the past. If they can stop them, then they will be right up there at the top of the table.
"Yes, Arsenal can still improve their creativity, but manager Mikel Arteta is right to try to make them more solid first.
"Aston Villa have leaked a few goals in the past couple of weeks and I would be surprised if they manage a clean sheet here."
Prediction: 2-0

"Arsenal claimed an excellent victory at Old Trafford last week. Mikel Arteta set his stall out perfectly, and the Gunners will be hoping to carry that momentum into this one.
"Despite mounting a late comeback, Villa suffered defeat against Southampton last week, making it back-to-back losses for Dean Smith’s side.
"This will be another tough one for Villa, and I expect Arsenal to have their tails up. I fancy the good vibes to continue for the home side with a comfortable win against the Villains."

"Villa, like Everton, hit their blip and had a crisis.
"I think Arsenal can dispatch them easily enough here, they are playing very well."
Prediction: 3-0
