Arsenal will hope to build on their 5-2 thrashing of Everton last time out when they take on Swansea City on Saturday.
The front three of Alexis Sanchez, Mesut Ozil and Alexandre Lacazette combined to superb effect to put the Toffees to the sword in a match that cost Ronald Koeman his job.
Now up to fifth, the Gunners will expect a win again before next weekend's trip to Manchester City.

GAME PREVIEW
Is it time for Arsenal to bring Jack Wilshere back into the fray in the Premier League?
The England midfielder got through 114 minutes against Norwich City in the Carabao Cup, which means he is unlikely to start against Swansea City due to his problematic injury record.
But a stint on the pitch for that long combined with regular outings in the cup competitions and a cameo against Everton last time out in the league mean that Wilshere must now be closing in on full fitness.
The 25-year-old's class remains evident, but the more difficult question is how he fits into Arsene Wenger's starting lineup.
The most natural position for Wilshere would be the left-sided central-midfield role currently occupied by Granit Xhaka, whose form has been spotty at best, but whether he would offer the necessary defensive protection is questionable.
He is capable of being deployed further up the field, but Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil will surely take the bulk of the minutes there now they are fit.
The best chance Wilshere might have was if Wenger ditched his three-man defence and added an extra body to midfield, in which case Wilshere could slot in nicely alongside Aaron Ramsey with Xhaka or Francis Coquelin behind them.
But for now one of the Gunners' most gifted players may have to continue to bide his time as he looks to get back into form ahead of next summer's World Cup.
