Betting Tips
Arsenal's phenomenal start to the season makes them red-hot favourites to claim the win on Monday evening. Even at 2/13, we're not deterred from backing Mikel Arteta's side from winning.
Oxford United's injury-hit squad has left them extremely light up top. The U's will be without Sam Baldock, Marcus Browne and Kyle Joseph for the visit of Arsenal. The absence of this key attacking trio makes Arsenal to win to nil a real possibility at 5/6.
Whilst Arsenal are expected to ring the changes, a striker shortage of their own means Eddie Nketiah is likely to lead the line for The Gunners. Nketiah has scored in three of Arsenal's last five matches and will be well-supported in the goal scorer markets if he's named on the team sheet on Monday. Nketiah is 16/5 to score first or 5/6 to score at any time. We're actually going to back the 23-year-old to score two or more at 7/2.

- Oxford United: 14/1
