ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE - Teams
     Arsenal
Founded: 1886
Nick Name: Gunners
Coach: Arsene Wenger
Home Ground: Emirates Stadium, Arsenal
The "Gunners" are out of silverware of the past 4 season, last winning in the 2003-04 period with an 11-point margin to London rivals Chelsea. Arsene Wenger could present plenty of factors for not winning club glory in England due to ace players plagued with injuries or simply the bad luck factor. It also seems after the departure of his former captain and goal-getter Theiry Henry, the cupboards at the Emirates will not have any additional silverware for some time to come. Arsenal does boast of a young squad this season and with a player like Fabregas who returns to the team with the confidence of a Euro 2008 victory behind him, it will be an added motivation to fight for club glory in England and Europe. Repeated failure at the Champions League will be a key concern for the "Gunners" who would want to win everything and take top position on the standing table not only from the start of the season but also at the end of it.
