3. Arsenal's unbeatable man

David Raya has had a sensational start to the season and looks to be unbeatable between the sticks. He made a stunning save against Aston Villa last month to deny Ollie Watkins from point blank. The Spaniard then made an incredible double save to thwart Atalanta from the penalty spot and then on the rebound.

In the Premier League, he has made 14 saves so far this season, keeping three clean sheets and conceding just one goal. Credit must also go to the formidable defensive pairing of William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes but Raya has looked incredibly solid in the opening stages of the campaign.

Erling Haaland has netted nine goals in four appearances this season but could see his scoring form halted against Arsenal. The aforementioned Gunners trio kept him quiet in both meetings last season so there is no doubt they will be able to do so once again.
