Defending champions Arsenal made an impressive start to the season against newly promoted Coventry but face a tougher test against Aston Villa on Monday.
But with the number of outgoings at Villa Park, will it be another eye-opener for Unai Emery’s men after last week’s heavy defeat by Brighton?
BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton thinks so.
“There’s only one winner with this,” he said.
“Aston Villa had a slow start last season, they have lost big players and I just think Arsenal are going to run all over teams this season.
“I think they are going to get better and better which is ominous for everybody else.”
Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against AI, BBC Sport readers and a variety of guests.
For week two, he takes on drummer Ben Thatcher from rock band Royal Blood.
Royal Blood’s latest single, Ten Over Ten, is out now. It is taken from their fifth studio album, Dead Company, which is released in November.
