Premier League 2018/19: Ranking the Big 6 after their first five games

#5 Arsenal: 6/10

Arsenal seem to be on the right track this time around, but have a long way to go

The North London side have shown signs of improvement under Unai Emery, who took over from Arsene Wenger as the head coach, following the Frenchman's resignation after 22 years in charge.

Arsenal were handed probably the most difficult start for a team in transition – City at the Emirates and Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Predictably, the Gunners failed to extract a single point from their first two fixtures.

However, Emery has managed to turn things around in the games that followed, winning three matches on the trot. Uruguayan midfielder Lucas Torreira has not been included in the Gunners' playing XI yet, while Bernd Leno warms the bench waiting his turn.

The main objective for the new-look Arsenal would be to get back into the Champions League next season, be it a top-four finish or a triumphant Europa League campaign.
