As the Premier League 2024/25 season kicks off, Arsenal find themselves in a familiar yet challenging position—poised to mount a serious challenge for their first league title in 21 years.

Should Gabriel/Saliba have been nominated for Player of the Season? The 2023/2024 season ended with Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City just tipping the Gunners of North London to the title on the final day.
