Arsenal's summer break has proven fruitful ahead of a brand new Premier League campaign. The Gunners have performed well in pre-season, winning all of their games apart from a rotated side losing 2-1 to Brentford in a behind-closed-doors friendly on Wednesday.
That leaves Sevilla in the Emirates Cup final as the only test before the real thing kicks off against Crystal Palace on Friday, August 5th. Several new faces will be on display, with Mikel Arteta making five additions to his squad so far in a spending spree costing over £100million.
The backing has been given in the hope that Arsenal can go one step further than last season and finally finish in the top four. While the Gunners impressed and had the upper hand in the race for Champions League football, they narrowly missed out to north London rivals Tottenham.
