Arsenal have started the first two months of this season showing they are ready to challenge in every competition.

The Gunners are unbeaten so far and, not only are results impressive, but the way they are going about it is too.

The same dominance and control they showed as they challenged for the title last season has gone up a notch and the players are starting to show that they truly believe they can achieve something.

Riccardo Calafiori has come in and settled straight away and his athleticism, alongside the way he charges into midfield to link the play, has given Arsenal a new dimension.

Jurrien Timber, returning this season after missing most of the last campaign, to use a football cliche, is like a new signing.

On Tuesday, Arsenal beat Paris St-Germain in the Champions League comfortably with the result never in doubt. PSG are not the team they once were but it was a huge psychological boost for the Gunners to show that they can beat the bigger sides in the competition.

Bukayo Saka said after the game he thinks "this is the year" that Arsenal will win something and that message has been supported by his manager.

"If the players feel that we're in the right direction and they believe in what we do, that's a really good sign," Arteta said. "It's a night to be really happy because we played one of the best teams in the world and we managed to perform and win the way that we did."

Arsenal have navigated a tricky start to the season excellently - you can feel the momentum building with each match.
