Arsenal have had an excellent start to the season as Mikel Arteta's side currently top the Premier League table. The Gunners have only suffered one defeat in 16 matches this season. However, questions have arose on whether Arsenal can maintain their form for the remainder of the campaign.

The Gunners were unable to sign a winger in the summer transfer window, despite the clear need to strengthen in the wide areas. Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli have a lot of pressure to perform until the next opportunity to address this area of the pitch opens, but there is a risk of burnout.
