Arsenal begin a run of games against the last four domestic sides to beat them, while Darwin Nunez brings the chaos against Leicester and Frank Lampard’s Everton face City and Erling Haaland...

It is a schedule for this Arsenal side to relish. The World Cup break hasn’t thrown them off their stride if the 3-1 win over West Ham is any measure, a victory that was achieved in the absence of their leading striker.but Gabriel Jesus’s injury doesn’t appear likely to give Mikel Arteta the headache he might have feared. Jesus’ replacement, Eddie Nketiah, got on the scoresheet, joining Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli. The Arsenal of old would have fretted over losing Jesus.
“Unstoppable” is certainly not how you would describe Nunez in front of goal right now. Back from a goalless World Cup with Uruguay, the £85million striker has missed a bucketload of chances in games at Manchester City and Villa.— Squawka Klopp and Liverpool fans are taking the view that missing chances is better than not having them, and they may be right.
But there was some evidence of Lopetegui’s influence at Everton. He made the call to play Joao Moutinho in a more advanced role, picking Joe Hodge for his first Premier League start of the season alongside Ruben Neves. His subs paid off too, with Matheus Nunes involved in Rayan Ait-Nouri’s winner and Toti helping to repel the crosses flung towards Wolves’ box.
