New Beginnings
It's the start of a pivotal season for Arsenal Football Club and pressure is mounting on manager Mikel Arteta, to get the club back into the top 4 in the Premier League. Despite a string of new signings over the summer, the team suffer three defeats in a row, leaving them bottom of the table. Expectations are then high as the squad face Norwich City at the Emirates.
The North London Derby
It's the North London Derby - one of the most notorious games in the world. Arteta and his young squad prepare to take on local rival Tottenham Hotspur in front of a riotous home crowd at the Emirates Stadium. The pressure is mounting on Euro 2020 hero, Bukaya Saka to score his first goal of the season. For captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, this game means far more than just team rivalries.
Stay In The Game
Two months in, and on a run of convincing and emphatic wins, the team prepare for a tough set of away matches. Goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale finds his footing, giving new strength to the team's defence. Defender Kieran Tierney suffers an injury blow whilst new signing Nuno Tavares shines in his debut, but a 10-game unbeaten run is at stake as the squad heads to Anfield.
Respect, Commitment, Passion
Speculation is rife as fan favourite Aubameyang is stripped of his captaincy. With Aubameyang no longer training with the first team, the focus shifts to the remaining players including Brazilian player Gabriel Martinelli. As Christmas approaches and Covid causes chaos in the league, Mikel Arteta is forced into isolation as the team prepare to face the reigning Premier League Champions, Man City.
The Exit
The start of a new year brings the January transfer window and Mikel Arteta the chance to rebuild his squad. Arsenal continue their quest for silverware, competing in the FA and Carabao Cup, as well as still fighting for top 4. Meanwhile, questions over Aubameyang's future continue dominating the media and the club must come to a decision about what to do with their former captain.
Super Mik Arteta
After Aubameyang departure and a quiet transfer window, Mikel Arteta is feeling the pressure from fans and critics alike. At home, his wife and family reflect on his tough job. On the pitch, the team seek to keep the dream of a European competition alive. Defender Ben White fights for the respect of the fans and another tough game against Liverpool threatens to derail the team's momentum.
A Lightbulb Moment
Arsenal suffer a string of defeats and struggle to find their form putting their top 4 place at risk. Losing vital players to injury means Mikel Arteta looks to his more inexperienced players to bring momentum back to the squad. Called up are midfielder Mohamed Elneny and striker Eddie Nketiah who join the starting XI, as the team face fellow top 4 contenders, Chelsea and Manchester United.
North London Forever
As the season draws to a dramatic close, Arsenal find their bitter North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur standing between them and a Champions League spot. As they prepare for the final matches and with everything to play for, can the team rise to the occasion, or will it prove all too much for the young squad to handle?
