While Mikel Arteta somewhat steadied the ship after replacing Unai Emery in December, the Arsenal boss still has plenty of work on his hands to rejuvenate his squad before the season's out.
Arsenal had endured a torrid time in the Premier League under Emery but made improvements over time with Arteta at the helm, sitting a lowly ninth in the Premier League before its suspension at the beginning of March.
A fourth successive season without Champions League football awaits the Gunners, who were defeated 3-2 by Brentford in a friendly on Wednesday, unless Arteta works a miracle.
