Mikel Arteta's side have secured six wins in seven Premier League outings but still find themselves three points behind the flawless Manchester City under Enzo Maresca. A commanding performance in the Champions League, where the Londoners thrashed French side Lille 3-0 thanks to goals from Jurriën Timber, Eberechi Eze, and Bukayo Saka, was overshadowed by a significant injury setback.
