After finishing last season with a hat-trick against West Brom and a goal at Wembley in the FA Cup final, Theo Walcott was given a further chance to impress up front in the Community Shield last weekend.
This time, though, the England international did not manage to enhance his claim to start ahead of Olivier Giroud.
Arsene Wenger now has a choice to make over who will get the nod in the opener against West Ham.
Giroud has netted five goals in five appearances against the Hammers and was Arsenal’s second top scorer last season behind Alexis Sanchez, who is unavailable following his exploits in the Copa America.
But after giving both players a chance in pre-season, will the Gunners opt to keep the faith with Walcott?
