Key man – Alexis Sanchez
The Chilean has been given an extended break after helping his country win the Copa America on home soil, and will not feature in Arsenal’s Premier League opener against West Ham United on Sunday.
He should come back refreshed, and the Gunners will need him to be. Should they not add another top attacker, Sanchez must match his 16-goal haul if Arsenal are going to challenge Chelsea and company.
Young player to look out for – Hector Bellerin
Jeff Reine-Adelaide is the name on everybody lips around the Emirates Stadium, but is not likely to get enough game time, with Arsenal well stocked with attacking midfield talent.
But Bellerin will probably be a regular at right-back, despite the competition from Mathieu Debuchy and Calum Chambers. The 20-year-old Spaniard impressed last season and will get even better.
