Arsenal already have their own Lionel Messi as Mikel Arteta has the 'best player in the world'

Arsenal have started the season like a house on fire. Six wins and one defeat from their opening seven games sees them top the Premier League table heading into the first international break of the season.

Things will heat up when the Premier League returns, with the Gunners starting an action-packed October, in which they will play nine games - with a huge North London Derby against Tottenham on October 1. The Emirates Stadium will host the first clash of the two London sides this season, with Spurs visiting their neighbours just one point and two places below them in the table.

It is a mouth-watering clash and one manager Mikel Arteta will be looking to his top players to make the difference. He will be waiting to see what happens on international duty, hoping none of his players pick up injuries.
