Emirates stadium

The season opener with Arsenal confidence sky high and Crystal Palace in disarray after letting go of their manager Tony Pulis. This game was supposed to be a tricky affair but will end up been a walkover instead.

My Prediction:  Arsenal 4-0 Crystal Palace

Arsenal always perform well especially when it comes to Champions League qualifiers but cannot afford to take Besiktas lightly especially now they have Demba Ba, a striker recently linked with Arsenal. we need to score goals galore while keeping it tight at the back to make the return leg at the Emirates a formality.

My prediction: Besiktas 1-3 Arsenal

This game will depend on the result against Besiktas. Another example of how the fixtures never seem to suit Arsenal with two away games in a row. This will be an extremely tough fixture and we shall be lucky to sneak a win with one eye on the Champions league return leg.

My prediction: Everton 1-1 Arsenal

We will need to keep it tight at the back but with a lot at stake, Arsenal will want another comfortable win. Should win this game easily and qualify for the group stages. Home atmosphere will spur the team on.

My Prediction: Arsenal 2-0 Besiktas

This will be an easy three points. Will NOT drop points against a team they are expected to win against especially since their next Premier League game will be two weeks later. I expect a high scoring one sided game.

Leicester City 0-7 Arsenal

Overall Analysis:

This will be a good month for Arsenal in preparation for a gruelling September. If we can manage to sneak a win against Everton, then it shall be an excellent month.
