There is no doubt that Sunday marks the first real test of Arsenal's title-winning credentials, although the death of the Queen has spared them an even sterner examination later in the month.

Mikel Arteta's Gunners began the weekend as Premier League leaders and swatted Norwegian champions Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League on Thursday with a victory that brought their 2022-23 record to played 10, won nine and lost just one, a tally that put them ahead of champions Manchester City by a single point.
