The Gunners are fourth in the table with ten points from their first five games.

Arsenal's Theo Walcott celebrates scoring their second goal

Arsenal forward Theo Walcott has told Sky Sports that he believes the best is yet to come from them this season.

The Gunners were highly impressive on Saturday afternoon as they secured a 4-1 win over Hull City.

It capped off a good seven days for them after they had also beaten Southampton the week before and secured a point away to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.

It has been a relatively strong start to the season for Arsene Wenger’s side, who sit in fourth place with ten points from their first five games.

“Maybe in the time gone we might have been bullied in these sorts of games, but everyone was physically strong,” Walcott told Sky Sports:

“We’re getting better, stronger and fitter in each game now. I think the best of us is still to come.”

One stat that Arsenal will want to improve is the number of chances they are creating.

So far, per game, they have registered just 10.2 key passes, 14. 6 shots and 5.4 shots on target.

Those three totals currently see them sitting behind the likes of Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, Everton and Chelsea.

With this season’s fight for the top four looking likely to be a highly competitive one to say the least, that is something they will need to improve to ensure they are competitive for the whole campaign.
