Arsenal kick off their pre-season campaign this evening, facing Girona in Spain.
A testing campaign looms for the Gunners as Mikel Arteta and his men look to build on the title-winning success of the previous season, in which they ended a 22-year wait to win the Premier League.

They have been patient in the transfer window, losing out on a move for Morgan Rogers but bringing in the prolific Club Brugge winger Christos Tzolis, who will hope to make his full debut here.
Arteta has promised that his side will ‘evolve’ this summer, and this match will provide supporters a first look at the changes he has made.
He already has a strong squad at his disposal, too, despite sending a number of players to the World Cup.
Viktor Gyokeres and Kai Havertz are among those to have returned early, though the England stars Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka are still enjoying their holidays.
They will hope to ease into the new season as they face Girona, who were relegated from La Liga last season.
