GABRIEL JESUS
Fed up of sitting on the bench at the Etihad, Jesus is gonna explode now he’s a guaranteed starter! Rival fans have made noise about him not scoring more than 14 goals in a single season, but he’s gonna silence the haters!

DID YOU KNOW?
Mikel Arteta is the first Arsenal boss to win the PL’s Manager of the Month award on multiple occasions in the same season since 2007-08!
VERDICT
Arsenal’s shoestring squad suffered big time last season, but they’ve strengthened all over the pitch this summer! They’ve now got easily enough quality in depth to challenge for a top-four spot – even if they do suffer another awful injury crisis!

STAR MAN
PHILIPPE COUTINHO
