We've asked our squad of first team writers, the men and women who know their teams best, to give us an insight into what we should be looking out for this weekend.
Andy Ha gives his rundown on The Gunners' tricky opener - the trip to Tyneside.
Win, lose or draw?
A trip to St James' Park is never easy but with the upheaval in the dugout this summer, and the widespread discontent in the stands, it just might be a good time to play Newcastle. Arsenal to win 2-1, which is a standout 7-1 with thepools.com
Who's a good bet for 1st scorer?
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has looked very sharp all throughout pre-season and you'd imagine if Arsenal get on the scoresheet, he will inevitably be among the goals. He's 16/5 first scorer with thepools.com or Evens anytime.
Who's on the naughty step? (first card)
Granit Xhaka. Enough said. If not him, then Sokratis is a good shout.
Who's on pens?
Aubameyang is likely to be on penalty duties again this season as he looks to win back-to-back Golden Boots.
Will your team keep a clean sheet?
Although Newcastle's attack isn't particularly threatening, especially with the exits of Salomon Rondon and Ayoze Perez, Arsenal's defending away from home will surely give up a few chances for the likes of new signing Joelinton. Both teams to score is an odds on 7/10 with thepools.com
