Arsenal fans head into the 2015-16 season full of optimism after the way they ended their last campaign, having won the FA Cup, and breaking the hoodoo Chelsea had over them, last weekend in the FA Community Shield.
The rest of the Premier League title contenders may also feel quietly confident with the defending champions making no significant signings at Stamford Bridge the day before the start of the new season.
Nothing less than three points will satisfy Gunners fans to start the season against a West Ham side whom they beat 3-0 in this fixture back in March.
