Arsenal will set their sights on returning to the Champions League and Premier League title contention during the 2017-18 season.
The Gunners slipped to a fifth-place finish in the English top flight last term and will play in the Europa League instead of Europe's top competition as a result.
Arsenal 15/8 to win any major trophy
They will also have to overcome the doubt around the futures of Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil, both of whom are out of contract in 2018, but new signing Alexandre Lacazette has given Gooners a reason to be cheerful.
With competitive action set to kick off on August 11 in the Premier League against Leicester City, Goal has your complete guide to the new Arsenal season.

The latest Arsenal transfer rumours
To buy individual match tickets you will normally need to be a part of the 'Red Membership' scheme, which ranges from £29 to £39 a season depending on the type of membership and method of payment.
That will get you priority access to ticket sales and also allow you to use the Arsenal ticket exchange, where season-ticket holders sell tickets they cannot use.
