Robbie Savage’s Premier League predictions: Aston Villa goals, Arsenal stumble, bullish Man City
The title race appears to have gone from three contenders to two and former Premier League midfielder Robbie Savage expects more drama this weekend.
Arsenal are a football club from North London who compete in the Premier League.
In 1893, Royal Arsenal became Woolwich Arsenal in another renaming of the club. In 1893, they rose to the Football League, becoming the first southern club to do so. In 1904, they were promoted to the First Division, the top tier of English soccer.
Whittaker died of a heart attack while still in charge of Arsenal in 1956. His autobiography, The Arsenal Story, was posthumously released the next year.
Graham led Arsenal to the title in 1988/89 and again in 1990/91. The 1988/89 success was the inspiration for Nick Hornby's best-selling autobiographical book, Fever Pitch, which became a successful film.
Graham was sacked in 1995 after it emerged he had taken an illegal £425,000 payment from Norwegian agent Rune Hauge in relation to Arsenal's 1992 signings of John Jensen and Pal Lydersen.
Unai Emery endured a disappointing year-and-a-half in charge of Arsenal after replacing Wenger. He was unable to lead them to UEFA Champions League qualification and the Gunners lost the UEFA Europa League final 4-1 to Chelsea. Emery was sacked after a disappointing start to the 2019/20 season.
Freddie Ljungberg took interim charge of Arsenal before Mikel Arteta became the next head coach. Arteta led the Gunners to FA Cup final success in 2020 but endured a slow start to the 2020/21 Premier League campaign.
This lacklustre start continued as the Gunners failed to reach the Europa League final, losing 2-1 to Unai Emery's Villarreal in the semi-final. Arteta's season went from bad to worse as Arsenal missed out on European football for the first time in 25 years, finishing in a disappointing eighth place.
After a terrible start to the 2021/22 campaign, they were bottom after three games, Arsenal managed to hoist themselves into the European qualifying places by November.
Following on from their impressive season, Arsenal made a bold statement in the 2023 summer transfer window by signing West Ham captain Declan Rice in a British record £105million deal.
In August 2018, Stan Kroenke became the sole shareholder after buying out Alisher Usmanov's shares for £550million.
Arsenal recorded an operating loss of £45.5million for the year ending May 2022, an improvement on the £107.3m loss the previous year.
