Arsene Wenger’s side have struck good form early on in the season with back-to-back wins in the league and a hard earned draw away from home to PSG in the UEFA Champions League.

Ozil is expected to return to the starting line-up when the Gunners host Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium this weekend. The Germany international is yet to record an assist for his club this season.
