Arsenal head into their first home fixture of the campaign against Burnley with their supporters optimistic that they can return to the top four in the Premier League table.
After a number of quality additions, the Gunners began their season by registering a 1-0 victory over Newcastle United at St James' Park.
Three points were achieved despite Unai Emery leaving his new signings among the replacements, while a number of players still remain in the treatment room.
