Champions League return, Willian to star, surprise package - Arsenal fans pre-season survey

The new Premier League season is almost upon us as Mikel Arteta prepares for his first full campaign in charge at Arsenal.

The Gunners have already picked up some silverware this season after beating Premier League champions Liverpool on penalties in the Community Shield at Wembley last weekend.

But the new league campaign is now just eight days away, with the Gunners set to play in the opening Premier League fixture of the new season away against newly-promoted Fulham.

Arsenal could have several new signings on show in the game, with defender Gabriel Magalhaes recently joining from Lille, while Willian has made the move across London from Chelsea and Pablo Mari and Cedric Soares have both completed permanent moves after loan spells last season.

ARSENAL FC: 2020/2021 SEASON PREVIEW

But what would represent success for Arsenal in the 2020/21 season?

The Gunners will be in the Europa League again after lifting the FA Cup in August, but can Arteta oversee a return to the Champions League for the first time since the 2016-17 season?

Once again, Arsenal will face strong competition from the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham for a top four spot as they all look to try and close the gap on Liverpool and Manchester City in the league.

But winning the Europa League would offer an alternative route back into the Champions League.

And after cup success in his first season in management, Arteta will be keen to build on the momentum gained from recent performances in big games.

So where do you think Arsenal will finish this season? And who will be the Gunners' top scorer and surprise package?
