Three changes Arsenal should make after the international break

By John Arkless

After starting the season with their obligatory home defeat and grumbles from the terrace over a lack of transfer activity, the last week of August gave Arsenal reasonable cause for optimism ahead of the rest of the season.

Mesut Özil returned to the side and inspired a mesmerising 3-1 win over Watford, before Shkodran Mustafi and Lucas Perez arrived at the club in a pair of deals worth more than £50 million to the club. So much for a lack of spending.

With the first win under their belts and a decent run of fixtures ahead of them, Arsenal now have a real chance to get their season going and launch a title challenge. So what should they change ahead of their weekend fixture against Southampton?
