The 2019–20 season is Arsenal's 28th season in the Premier League, 104th overall season in the top flight and 100th consecutive season in the top flight of English football. The club is participating in the Premier League, the FA Cup, the EFL Cup, and the UEFA Europa League.

Review

Pre-season

Arsenal began their off-season by completing some squad alterations. Bernd Leno, Reiss Nelson, Joe Willock, Eddie Nketiah, Emile Smith Rowe and Matt Macey all received new squad numbers, the latter five being promoted to the first team from the academy.[1]

Arsenal's pre-season tour in America got off to a shaky start with club captain, Laurent Koscielny, refusing to travel. He believed that over his 9 years of service to the club, he had earned the right to terminate his contract despite still having a year left. This led to the club taking disciplinary actions, which included stripping Koscielny of the club captaincy.[2]

Arsenal's first summer signing was young Brazilian forward, Gabriel Martinelli, from Ituano FC, for a £6,000,000 fee. The summer was dominated by headlines stating that Arsenal's transfer budget was only £45,000,000. Despite lots of major outlets reporting on this, it was revealed that the budget was actually closer to £100,000,000. The lack of budget and ambition from owner Stan Kroenke, led many fans to grow infuriated, and begin protesting his ownership with the hashtag #WeCareDoYou.[3]

On 15 July, Arsenal began the pre-season tour with an emphatic 3–0 friendly win over Colorado Rapids with Martinelli scoring on his non-competitive debut. The Arsenal players featured were mostly youth players with Mesut Özil, Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang also involved, being introduced from the bench.

On 17 July, Arsenal played against Bayern Munich in California in the 2019 International Champions Cup and prevailed 2–1 with Eddie Nketiah scoring the winning goal. Three days later the Gunners continued this winning form with a 3–0 victory over Fiorentina in Charlotte with a brace by Nketiah and a goal by Joe Willock. Three more days later Arsenal faced Real Madrid in Landover in the Gunners' third and final International Champions Cup match. Arsenal were leading 2–0 through Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, but Real hit back with the troubled Gareth Bale halving the deficit and Marco Asensio scoring the equaliser. The match ended 2–2 thus resulting in a penalty shootout with the Gunners subsequently losing 3–2. In addition both teams ended the match with 10 men. This meant that Arsenal finished in 3rd place, their best ever result in the competition.

On 25 July, Arsenal completed the signing of French teenage centre-back William Saliba from Saint-Étienne for a reported fee of £27 million. However, he was loaned back to the French club for the 2019–20 season. Arsenal also completed a season-long loan deal for Spanish midfielder Dani Ceballos from Real Madrid.

On 26 July, Arsenal pair Mesut Özil and Sead Kolašinac were involved in a carjacking attempt by a gang of armed robbers in London near Golders Green, where there was footage of Kolašinac chasing the gangsters. Both players were targeted by the gang but it was confirmed by the club that the pair escaped uninjured and were safe.

On 28 July, Arsenal played in the Emirates Cup for the first time since 2017 but lost 1–2 at home to French team Lyon. The Gunners failed to win the Emirates Cup for the first time since 2014.

On 31 July, Arsenal played a friendly game against Angers who were celebrating the 100th anniversary of the French club's establishment. The match ended in a 1–1 draw, meaning a penalty shootout had to decide the winner. The Gunners won the shootout 4–3 with Arsenal goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez saving the decisive spot-kick from ex-Arsenal player Jeff Reine-Adelaïde.

On 1 August, Arsenal made the signing of Ivory Coast winger Nicolas Pépé from Ligue 1 team Lille for a club record £72 million.

On 4 August, Arsenal also played against Barcelona on the Joan Gamper Trophy at the Camp Nou. The Gunners lost 2–1 with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scoring the only goal in the first half giving Arsenal the lead going into half time. However, a horrible own goal from Ainsley Maitland-Niles and a 90th-minute winner from Luis Suárez gave Barcelona the win in Arsenal's final pre-season fixture. Also during the day, Takuma Asano left the club, joining Partizan Belgrade for £900,000, after not playing a single minute for the Gunners in his three years at the club.

On 6 August, then-captain Laurent Koscielny left Arsenal to join Ligue 1 club Bordeaux for a reported fee of £4.6 million after nine years at the club.

On 7 August, Carl Jenkinson left the club and joined Nottingham Forest for a fee of £2 million.

On 8 August, transfer deadline day, the Gunners signed left-back Kieran Tierney from Celtic for a reported £25 million fee and centre-back David Luiz from Chelsea for a reported £8 million fee three hours later. Moreover, Alex Iwobi joined Everton for £28 million which could rise to £35 million and the recently promoted Eddie Nketiah joined Leeds United on a season long loan.

August

Arsenal began the season with a 1–0 win at Newcastle United, courtsey of a goal by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, in the Premier League on 11 August. The following week, the Gunners played Burnley in their first home match of the season on 17 August. They won 2–1, with goals by Alexandre Lacazette and Aubameyang. Their third match of the season came at Liverpool on 24 August. Nicolas Pépé made his first start for the club, but Arsenal ended the day losing 3–1 at Anfield after two goals by Mohamed Salah and a header by Joël Matip. Lucas Torreira's first goal for the season was a late consolation. Arsenal ended August third in the table with six points from a possible nine in the league. On 30 August, Arsenal learned their Europa League group stage opponents. They would be Eintracht Frankfurt of Germany, Vitória of Portugal and Standard Liège of Belgium. The following day, Nacho Monreal was surprisingly sold to Real Sociedad, ending a six-and-a-half year association with the club.

September

Arsenal started September with the first North London derby at the Emirates Stadium against Tottenham Hotspur on 1 September. An early goal by Christian Eriksen and a Harry Kane penalty made it 2–0 in Tottenham’s favour, but Alexandre Lacazette halved the deficit during the first-half stoppage-time and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored an equaliser, making it 2–2. A late Sokratis goal was disallowed for offside to deny Arsenal a comeback win, meaning that the derby ended in a 2–2 draw. The following day on the European transfer deadline day, Arsenal loaned Mohamed Elneny to Turkish team Beşiktaş and Henrikh Mkhitaryan to Italian club Roma, but no move materialised for defender Shkodran Mustafi following a summer of speculation on his future at the club.

On 15 September, following the international break Arsenal continued the Premier League campaign with a 2–2 draw at Watford, despite a double by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang putting them 2–0 up.
