Arsenal take on Crystal Palace in the Premier League season opener on Friday evening with Mikel Arteta's side in fine form following a strong pre-season.
The Gunners looked streets ahead of Premier League rivals Chelsea and Everton during their tour of America and will be hoping to carry their fine form into the new season. Kieran Tierney, Emile Smith Rowe, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Fabio Vieira are all close to returning to the matchday squad after struggling for minutes in pre-season.
Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko have hit the ground running after arriving at the Emirates Stadium from Manchester City, with Edu continuing to work behind the scenes to complete more deals before the summer transfer window deadline. Lucas Paqueta, Timo Werner and Youri Tielemans have all been linked with moves to north London, whilst the Gunners are also looking to move on a number of fringe players from their squad.
