Arsenal are currently fourth in the Premier League table with 56 points, one point clear of Manchester United and three ahead of sixth-placed Chelsea, who have a game in hand.

The Gunners earned a reputation for consistently finishing in the top four under their ex-manager, Arsene Wenger and will be looking forward to repeating that fate in the guidance of their new boss, Unai Emery this term.
