Arsenal have had the joy of sitting top of the Premier League during the international break following their stellar start to the campaign.
Mikel Arteta's side, who recruited shrewdly in the summer, have won six of their seven games and are beginning to convince sceptics that they could be the real deal. Originally targeting a top four spot, some are now highlighting them as outside bets for the title.
Arsenal's credentials will become far clearer after this weekend when they take on Tottenham in the north London derby. As was the case last year, the first clash between the two will be hosted at the Emirates. Antonio Conte's side pipped Arsenal to fourth last term and are only a point behind this term.
