That's what's Wright
Ex-Chelsea and Manchester City ace Shaun Wright-Phillips believes it will be "hard to stop" Arsenal following their explosive start to the season.
Wright-Phillips told SunSport's Jake Lambourne: "I think they've been fantastic.
"The new addition with Saliba is phenomenal. Players are scared to run at him as they know how quick he is. Going forwards, especially in the final third with [Gabriel] Martinelli, [Gabriel] Jesus, [Bukayo] Saka, it's frightening.
"Adding in key players like [Martin] Odegaard in behind, they're always going to be finding players in and around the box.
"They're going to be hard to stop and they're scoring a lot of goals, which in the Premier League is key to success.
"They were unlucky conceding with the own goal [against Leicester], but apart from that they're going to be a hard task for anybody"

Pepe 'closer' to exit
Arsenal are getting closer to offloading out-of-favour ace Nicolas Pepe with Nice interested.
Pepe is nearing a deal that would see him join the French club on loan.
The winger has scored 27 goals in 112 games and is now firmly second choice behind Bukayo Saka.

Good morning Arsenal fans
Arsenal could railroad Manchester United's pursuit of Leicester ace Youri Tielemans, according to CBS reporter Ben Jacobs.
Jacobs told The Done Deal Show: “The other name to consider when talking about Manchester United is Youri Tielemans.
"He’s low-hanging fruit, he’s right there. If Arsenal enter the race it becomes complicated.
"But at the moment they haven’t and Tielemans still wants to leave Leicester and Manchester United need to strengthen."
Meanwhile, Arsenal are in pole position to sign Lyon star Lucas Paqueta ahead of transfer deadline day.
Paqueta has emerged as one of Gunners boss Mikel Arteta's top targets this summer.
According to UOL Esporte, the North Londoners "appear the main candidate" to land him.
Arteta is a known fan of the midfielder, who netted 10 goals in 34 appearances last season.
And Arsenal's interest in Villarreal ace Yeremy Pino is increasing.
That's the view of CBS reporter Jacobs, who told Give Me Sport: "Yeah, I mean, Pino and the sort of Arsenal interest is growing, I think that is fair to say.
“And it’s definitely one to watch between now and when the window shuts.
"And one of the reasons for that is because there is a need at the Villarreal end to sell.”
Finally, Wolves will consider selling Pedro Neto if they receive a suitable offer this month.
Neto's displays after his 2019 arrival at Molineux are said to have impressed several Premier League clubs.
And according to numerous reports, the winger "could be available at the right price."
News of Wolves' apparent willingness to cash in on the Portugal international could be music to the Gunners' ears as we approach deadline day.
The North Londoners are said to have a long-term interest in signing the 22-year-old, with reports claiming Arteta is a big fan of his attacking flair
