The easing back into the season is over and it is time for the matches to start coming thick and fast for Arsenal.
Looking ahead, Arsenal face one of their toughest stretches of the season: four away matches in the stretch of 10 days, starting with a crucial trip to Italy to kick off the Champions League campaign.
So far this season Arsenal have been able to field roughly the same starting eleven in each match. So far this season Arsenal have made a total of three changes to the starting eleven.
Two changes from the starting eleven between the Community Shield and first Premier League match.
Just one change between matches in the Premier League (Ezri Konsa coming in for Cristhian Mosquera in the latest match).
Being able to use the same group of players has been an advantage and has helped rekindle the chemistry within the team and the team has responded with 4 wins from 4. Maintaining this level of continuity over the upcoming run of fixtures would be inadvisable. Given the depth of the squad available to Mikel Arteta, that shouldn’t have to be the case.
