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 Hector Bellerin (England) in defence to Thomas Partey (Ghana) in midfield and Nicolas Pepe (Ivory Coast) in attack. Here are three players to watch out for in the Premier League this season:
Gabriel Jesus
Gabriel rejoined his old manager when he signed for Arsenal from Manchester City. He is an experienced striker having won four Premier League titles, one FA Cup, three league cups as well as playing in the final of the 20/21 Champions League.
Bukayo Saka
Saka joined Arsenal when he was eight years old and made his first team debut shortly after his 17th birthday. He is still only 20 years old and is developing into one of the most exciting players in the league.
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 2022/23: 3rd
Arsenal were so close tto a top four finish last season that they will be determined this year. Arteta's young squad has matured and with the addition of Gabriel Jesus, they will be an exciting team to watch.

When i was about 8, my dad and I watched a football match at a tea shop . That was my very first time of watching the football match and I remembered the yellow kit of the Arsenal Team. There was a logo of O2 infront of the team jersey . Later, I watched most of the games Arsenal played & really enjoyed them.
There are a lot of my favourite Arsenal players. Although my all time favourite is Henry , I'll put Pires & Ljungberg on the same level as Henry.
I think , in this season , they'll finish in the 4th place. Or I hope :P
If there is any mistake in my English language, don't b bother to correct them or suggest. Thank you :D

Your English is excellent. The only suggestion that I would like to add it is always your personal pronoun must be in Capital letter
for example
I= is correct
i= is wrong
I hope you understand

I love Arsenal because this is the team that introduced me football sport from my childhood. I think the prediction is realistic but in Football anything can happen and it's still a long way to predicting the club place in the league.

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.
