The North London based club, Arsenal, have been refrained from silverwares for a very long time. They did come close to the Premier League title twice, just to falling short to Manchester City on both the occasions. The club also made a return to European competition after a considerable amount of time last year. Although they made an impressive run to the knockouts, they were never the favourite to clinch the continental glory. Though, the ambitions of Arsenal can have a chance to change the scenario this season.
Mikel Arteta’s men are looking strong in the league as they are still unbeaten after eight game weeks. They will return to Premier League action this weekend at Bournemouth as the international break comes to a merciful conclusion and Mikel Arteta can again refocus his players on their ambitions.

Post the next international break, the clubs will be having an opportunity to upgrade their squad in the winter transfer market. Consequently, Arteta can make tactics accordingly and can go for a few signing in the winters.
A favourable result in the upcoming games will not only boost the moral of the club, but also provide a major self belief among the players. Their seven-game stint will begin with facing Bournemouth. A victory over The Cherries will see them going top of the league above Liverpool and Manchester City. Although the latter two will be having their fixtures on Sunday, the Red n Whites can hope for the best in their favour.
After the Bournemouth game, the club will host Liverpool in a top-notch heated fixture. Their next league tenure will see them travelling to face Newcastle United and Chelsea. Moreover, a Champions League game against Shakhtar Donetsk at home along with another outing to San Siro to face Inter Milan will present an extremely humongous challenge. A win over the Nerazzurri would be such a statement of intent in Europe and emulate the Invincibles side who were the last team to face Inter in Italy and won 5-1.
