Premier League 2018/19: Predicted Final Standings

#6 Arsenal

Arsenal

Players In: Bernd Leno, Stephan Lichtsteiner, Sokratis, Lucas Torreira, Matteo Guendouzi

Players Out: Santi Cazorla, Per Mertesacker, Jack Wilshere, Jeff Reine-Adelaide, Chuba Akpom

This season will be the first time Arsenal have played under a new coach for twenty-odd years. Unai Emery has taken the helm at the Emirates Stadium, and will stand in a spot where Arsene Wenger had stood all those years before now. It's a new team and a new era, but do they have enough to win the league?

No. Not as far as I'm concerned. Whilst the signings they've made are decent, there are areas across the squad that still need improving if they want to properly compete with the "big six" this season. Getting rid of Wilshere was probably a mistake on Emery's part, and I think they'll live to rue letting him go so easily.

With all the money that the other teams in the top six have spent this summer, you'd have expected Arsenal to have made marquee signings as well. But if the likes of Sokratis and free-agent Leno are the best Gunners fans are going to get, then I think they might struggle this time around. Still, whilst 6th place is nothing to scoff at, we all know that they could do better.
