The 2026-27 Premier League season promises to deliver thrills, excitement and memorable moments.
With looking to defend their English top-flight title, the Gunners will look to get contributions from all over the pitch.
While goals are the most exciting and often most memorable part of a team's charge towards the domestic league championship, defending is also a key part of any team's trophy chase. Arsenal are a prime example of that, as goalkeeper David Raya has won at least a share of the Golden Glove award in each of the last few seasons.
