Arsenal finished 12 points behind Premier League champions Chelsea last season.
Despite that massive gap, Gunners fans are confident that 2015-16 could be their year.
One of the main reasons behind their optimism is the imminent signing of experienced goalkeeper Petr Cech, who will arrive from rivals Chelsea for £10.9m next week.

Although Cech was no longer Chelsea’s first choice between the sticks, the 33-year-old is still world class and significantly better than Arsenal’s current glovemen – David Ospina and Wojciech Szczesny.
Cech will definitely make the Gunners a much better outfit, but he will not instantly transform them into champions.
In order to secure their first Premier League title since 2004, more spending is required – £68m to be precise.
If Arsenal spend £68m, they could lineup with this XI, which would be close to unstoppable.
GK: Petr Cech
Will fill the defenders with confidence and make saves that Ospina and Szczesny wouldn’t. Chelsea captain John Terry reckons Cech could be worth 12-15 points. Not a bad start…
RB: Hector Bellerin
The former Barcelona youngster started last season as just a promising youngster, but he went on the become a regular starter due to Mathieu Debuchy’s injury troubles. Debuchy is fit again, but Bellerin has probably impressed enough to keep him out the side.
LB: Kieran Gibbs
Monreal was excellent at times last season, but Gibbs is the man who should occupy Arsenal’s left-back slot for many years to come.
CB: Ezequiel Garay
Per Mertesacker is a World Cup winner, but he is too slow and error prone. Garay is top class and The Telegraph say the 28-year-old Zenit centre-back could cost Arsenal just £13m. At that price, he could be one of Arsene Wenger’s best signings ever.
