The Gunners have now scored 40 goals in the Premier League only since decorations since the start of the 2022/23 season, including five in their first four games in the current campaign.

Arteta discussed the threat of his team in dead ball situations and said that every detail was important.

Speaking during his pre-match press conference before the opening of the Arsenal Champions League in Athletic Bilbao tonight, the Spaniard said: “It’s the game. The game is faster, the spaces are smaller and everyone is trying to enjoy other aspects of the game which are obviously essential to win football matches.

“In the end, you have to dominate everything today in football to give you the best chance of winning the games.”

In addition to their sets, Arsenal signed Viktor Gykerres by Sporting Lisbon in summer to facilitate their threat of scorer. The Swedish striker hit three times in four Premier League games to date, in good place due to injuries elsewhere.

While Arsenal heads for a congestioned period of lighting, Arteta insisted that he had options to rotate the attacker despite Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus remaining unavailable.

“Well, let’s see it. Against Forest at the end, Mikel (Merino) has played like new. We have Leo (Trossard) who can play it, we have other options and other training that we can adapt to this. For the moment, Victor is fine, so I’m really satisfied with that.”
