3. Can Gabriel Jesus continue his fine form?

The Brazilian has hit the ground running in north London, transforming the Gunners’ front line, and there are no suggestions to say his brilliant start is unsustainable.

This season, Jesus has eight Premier League goal contributions, but he hasn’t scored since the North London derby win at the start of the month.

Can he break his ‘mini duck’ on Sunday against Southampton? The Brazilian scored just once against the Saints during his time at City (nine games).
