Arsenal's strength in depth in focus as they embark on another Premier League title assault

Arsenal have improved year-on-year under Mikel Arteta - but their strength in depth in two key areas could leave them vulnerable to falling short again...

After finishing as runners-up to Manchester City for a second successive season, expectations are high that Arsenal can end a 21-year drought for a Premier League title. Only once in Premier League history have a team finished as runners-up in three consecutive seasons - Arsenal doing so themselves between 1999 and 2001, with Manchester Utd winning the title on all three occasions.

Jurrien Timber and Takehiro Tomiyasu are capable deputies across the backline, and the majority of attackers are comfortable in various roles. Two players who Arsenal have relied on - and don't have serious competition or cover - are Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka. They have a combined 90 Premier League goal involvements over the past two seasons, and have started 73 of a possible 78 league games in that period.
