The 2022/23 Premier League season gets underway next Friday with Arsenal facing Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
And thanks to some good business in the summer transfer window so far coupled with William Saliba's return after a successful loan spell with Marseille, the Gunners appear to be well prepared for the start of a new campaign - which is a far cry from what happened 12 months ago.
In fact, even with Takehiro Tomiyasu, Emile Smith Rowe, Kieran Tierney and summer signing Fabio Vieira not playing a single minute of the USA pre-season tour which may make them doubtful for the Premier League opener, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is still in a position where he can name a strong line-up.
