The Gunners have been in the Premier League since its inception in the 1992/93 season, beginning as one of the founder members. They’ve been crowned champions of the division on three occasions, but not since the 2003/04 season.
Last season:
Mikel Arteta’s side have finished second in the league table three times on the bounce. A points total of 74 last season was the lowest of the last three years, with 20 wins, 14 draws, and just the four losses throughout the year. The strongest defence in the league saw them concede just 34 times, netting 69 at the other end.
One to watch:
In a star-studded line up, England international Bukayo Saka continues to be Arsenal’s stand-out player. The winger constantly causes problems, tricking his way down the flank, or cutting inside onto his trusted left-foot to fire home.
