How Arsenal will line up in 2018-19

Arsenal enter into a new era on Sunday afternoon when Unai Emery takes charge of his first competitive game as Gunners head coach.

The Spaniard replaced long-serving manager Arsene Wenger at the end of last season after the Frenchman’s 22 years as Arsenal boss came to an end.

Emery is supported by head of recruitment Sven Mislintat and head of football relations Raul Sanllehi, who make up the football operations structure, identifying and buying new players to improve a squad which finished in sixth place last season.

With the likes of Bernd Leno and Lucas Torreira strengthening a side which previously looked weak in key positions, Emery will be hopeful that the new-look Arsenal squad are capable of providing an improved title challenge to the disappointing form of recent campaigns.
