- Arsenal's manager, Mikel Arteta, has a record of 116 victories in his 200 games at the helm, surpassing the records of previous managers Arsene Wenger and George Graham.
- Arsenal is trying to find a balance between being more pragmatic and maintaining their emotional drive that propelled them towards a title run last season.
