The Gunners are one of the Premiership’s most successful clubs though they have struggled to compete with the recent spending power of Chelsea and Manchester United.

However, under shrewd manager Arsene Wenger, who has been at the helm since 1996, the Gunners have maintained their ‘Big Three’ status.

The Frenchman is the club’s longest-serving manager in terms of matches, as well as being the club’s most successful coach.

In 2007/08 Arsenal finished third in the Premiership but the Gunners have championed the Premiership a total of three times.

The club’s home ground is The Emirates Stadium in north London, having moved from their Highbury home in 2006, which has a capacity of over 60,000.

Prominent players in the squad for 2008/09 season include: Emmanuel Adebayor, Manuel Almunia, Cesc Fàbregas and William Gallas while players like Thiery Henry, Patrick Viera, David Seaman and Ian Wright are among a long list of heroes from the past.
