Arsenal legend Charlie Nicholas believes that there is more steel to his former club this season.

The Gunners are undefeated in all competitions since losing to Liverpool on the opening day of the campaign.

Nicholas is confident that the North London outfit will extend their impressive run with a win against Ludogorets Razgrad in the Champions League on Wednesday.

The Sky Sports pundit is backing the Gunners to defeat the Bulgarian side 4-0 at Emirates Stadium.

He writes in his column for Sky: "I think the feeling in the team is that there's a little bit more steel about Arsenal after those hard-fought wins against Burnley and Swansea. It doesn't always have to be spectacular, and the momentum keeps building.

"They've shown an ability to dig in a bit, even though there's still a defensive vulnerability, to win games where they might have previously dropped points.

"Where Arsenal are really strong is when Mesut Ozil and Theo Walcott run beyond Alexis Sanchez and take defenders into areas where they're not really comfortable.

"Matchday three always seems to be a pretty uncomfortable one for Arsenal, though. It's often been when they tend to get the strongest sides in the group and it's make-or-break, but I'm expecting a comfortable night in the Soccer Special studio, with just a win or two probably needed to make qualification certain."
