Arsenal
Arsenal
Arsenal have played in the top division of English football since 1913, which is the longest unbroken run in the history of English football. Arsenal are the only team to have finished a Premier League season undefeated (2003/04).
- Stadium: Emirates Stadium
- Stadium Capacity: 59,867
- Location: North London
- Founded: 1886
- Nickname: The Gunners
- Manager: Mikel Arteta
- Kit: Red shirts with white sleeves and white shorts
Arsenal was formed in 1886 and was the first club from the south of England to join the Football League in 1893. Arsenal hold the record for the longest unbroken record in the top division of football. The Gunners have played at the top level since 1913. Here are some of the highlights:
- First Division Champions: 13 times
- FA Cup Winners: 14 times (a record)
- League Cup Winners: 1986/87 & 1992/93
- UEFA Cup Winners: 1993/94
- Premier League best finish: Winners in 1997/98, 2001/02 & 2003/04
The Manager
Mikel Arteta took over from Unai Emery in December 2019 and won the FA Cup in his first season. Arteta was the assistant manager at Manchester City before taking over at the Emirates. The Spaniard is an ex-Arsenal player who made over 100 appearances for the club and won the FA Cup twice as a player. Arteta also made over 150 appearances for Everton in a decade long Premier League playing career.
Three to Watch
The Arsenal squad is full of international talent from Bukayo Saka (England) in defence to Thomas Partey (Ghana) in midfield and Nicolas Pepe (France) in attack. Here are three players to watch out for in the Premier League this season:
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Arsenal paid Borussia Dortmund a club record fee for Aubameyang in January 2018. The striker from Gabon is one of the world’s top forwards and has explosive pace. He was African Player of the Year in 2015.
Alexandre Lacazette
Lacazette is another exciting forward. Arsenal signed him from Lyon in France for a then club-record fee. The French striker is fast, has great dribbling skills and is good with both feet.
Kieran Tierney
Tierney has been at Arsenal since 2019 when he moved from Celtic in Scotland in a record transfer for a Scottish player. Tierney normally plays left-back but can also play as a central defender. After an injury-hit 2020/21 season, Arsenal fans will be hoping one of the most exciting Premier League defenders stays injury-free this season.
Prediction 2021/22: 6th
Arsenal will be looking to break back into the top four and claim Champions League football next season, but it may be another year of consolidation. With many new players, it could be difficult for Arsenal to find enough consistency to win the Premier League. However, with the players they have, they will hope for a good run in one of the domestic cup competitions.

victory through harmony...I love this motto. My favourite player is Mesut Ozil. If Gunners keep this team , they have a great opportunity to win Premier League this year.

This text is an excellent practice for scanning skill.
I like what Arsene Wenger has said: "I don’t look at the passport of people but at their quality and their attitude." I want to add : and their skills. :)

Welcome to Premier Skills English, Markoni!
Arsenal are looking like they will challenge for the title this season with City, Liverpool and Chelsea. Olivier Giroud is a great player but is on the bench a lot this season. Arsene Wenger seems to prefer to play Alexis Sanchez as the main striker.
