Mikel Arteta, like the other 19 Premier League managers, is preparing for the start of a brand new season.
Of course, for the second year in a row, the Spaniard has the honour of being part of the first game of the new campaign as his Arsenal side make the short trip across London to face a Crystal Palace side that recorded a 3-0 win in the corresponding fixture back in April.
Defeat that night wasn't the only setback the Gunners suffered as two key players were ruled out for the remainder of the season afterward, thus denying Arteta the chance to name his strongest XI during the final nine games - and it certainly played a role in missing out on a top-four finish.
