Arsenal will be looking to make it five Premier League wins in a row at the start of the 2022-23 campaign when they welcome Aston Villa to the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night.
The Gunners lead in the English top flight with 12 points from four games, but Villa is down in 15th in the table, having picked up just three points from their opening four games of the season.
Arsenal was far from their best against an impressive Fulham on Saturday but the Gunners pulled off a 2-1 win over the Cottagers, with Martin Odegaard leveling the score in the 64th minute before Gabriel Magalhaes scored the winner four minutes from time. than normal time.
It has been a great start to the season for Mikel Arteta's side, winning all four of their games, scoring 11 and conceding just three, to keep them top of the table on 12 points, two ahead of second-placed Manchester City.
The Gunners started their campaign with a 2-0 success at Crystal Palace before winning 4-2 over Leicester City in their first home game of the season; the capital side then beat Bournemouth 3-0 before a narrow success over Marco Silva's Fulham last time out.
Arteta's team has a minor problem traveling to Old Trafford to face Manchester United this weekend, and it would be a feat if they manage to go into that game with a perfect run of five games.
Arsenal will start their 2022-23 Europa League campaign away to Zurich on September 8, so the squad will need to be managed in the coming weeks, but there are plenty of positive signs for the North London outfit in the early stages of the season.
