Starts third straight match
Calafiori registered two shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Chelsea.
Analysis: Calafiori registered two shots (one on target) across his 67 minutes in Sunday's 2-1 win over Chelsea, seeing what appeared to be an equalizing goal in the first half ruled out by VAR for offside before continuing to contribute in the attacking phase throughout his time on the pitch. The Italian left-back has now started all three Premier League matches of the season, accumulating two assists during that span and establishing himself as Arsenal's first-choice option at left back ahead of Piero Hincapie, with his willingness to contribute in the final third giving manager Mikel Arteta's side an important dual-threat option on the left side of the pitch.
Assists winner Monday
Calafiori assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Monday's 1-0 win over Aston Villa.
Analysis: Calafiori recorded another assist in Monday's win as he set up Bukayo Saka's winner in the 59th minute. He's now assisted in both of Arsenal's opening two matches. He also kept a clean sheet as he and his fellow defenders didn't allow a single shot on target throughout the 90 minutes.
