The brand new Premier League season is upon us, with yet another campaign of twist and turns ahead for all involved. For the second consecutive year, Arsenal will kick things off as the first game on Friday night and though last time it was a short trip to Brentford on the cards, this time round it's another London club in Crystal Palace.
Mikel Arteta will be hoping for a massive improvement on last year's start, where they lost their first three fixtures of the season and languished bottom of the Premier League. The campaign as a whole was largely positive, with a push for the top four always on the agenda.
However, they just narrowly missed out on a return to the Champions League, representing a huge blow to the Spaniard and his efforts. Despite that, plenty are still tipping the Gunners to make another challenge for a top four finish this campaign following a number of signings.
