James – Silverware is well within their grasp and it’d be great to see the club make a deep run in the Europa League. They certainly have the starting XI to go all the way and if they’re not stricken by injuries, I’d back them to win the competition. Liverpool and Manchester City will continue to dominate in the domestic cup competitions.

Adam – Yes they will, a cup competition. Arsenal have to win something this year. Getting into the top four will seem like a trophy, but a cup win or a Europa League triumph is well within their grasp in 2022/23.

Mitch – Silverware is always the hope and this is the season I think Arsenal win the Europa League. In fact, I would sacrifice league position to win that tournament. The end goal would still be achieved by getting back to the Champions League and we won something along the way. The domestic trophies would be great too but I hope Arsenal does everything to win the EL.

Kenneth – Perhaps the Premier League title will remain out of reach for a little while yet, but the Gunners have nevertheless added quality and depth to their ranks during the off-season and are well-equipped to add some silverware to the trophy cabinet. A Carabao Cup triumph is of course a welcome prospect and everybody would love to see a 15th FA Cup win under the Wembley arch in May, but the one that really matters is the Europa League crown and I am optimistic we will be watching the Arsenal captain – whoever that may be – lifting the cup in Budapest next year.

Trent – Again, quite bullish, but who cares? While the team won’t win the league very likely, I think Europa League and FA Cup victories are within the team’s grasp. That means a double and a European berth even if the domestic season is more disappointing than I believe it will be.
