Arsenal finished outside the Premier League’s top four once again in 2019-20 and will be determined to force their way into contention for Champions League qualification during Mikel Arteta’s first full season at the helm.

The Spaniard, who was returned to familiar surroundings following the dismissal of Unai Emery, has offered cause for optimism through the early part of his reign in north London – with FA Cup success savoured along the way.

Building on those foundations will not be easy, with there no quick fixes to be found, but confidence is returning at Emirates Stadium and the Gunners will hope that a few shrewd additions allow them to compete with the English and European elite once more.

The Gunners will open the 2020-21 campaign with a London derby date against newly-promoted Fulham, with that game due to take place on September 12.
