Review
Throughout the summer transfer window, Arsenal completed the signings of forwards Gabriel Martinelli and club-record signing Nicolas Pepe; midfielder Dani Ceballos on a one-year loan; and defenders Kieran Tierney, David Luiz, and William Saliba, the latter of which was sent back to former club AS Saint-Etienne on a one-year loan. What the Arsenal fanbase viewed as lack of budget and ambition from owner Stan Kroenke led many to protest his ownership with the social media hashtag "#WeCareDoYou".[6] Arsenal released first-team players Stephan Lichtsteiner, Aaron Ramsey, and Danny Welbeck, sold David Ospina, Takuma Asano, Laurent Koscielny, Carl Jenkinson, Alex Iwobi, and Nacho Monreal, and loaned out Eddie Nketiah, Mohamed Elneny, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Emile Smith Rowe, and Konstantinos Mavropanos.
During the preseason, Arsenal competed in the International Champions Cup, finishing 3rd, and the Emirates Cup and Joan Gamper Trophy finals, losing both. Arsenal started the Premier League with a 1–0 win against Newcastle United, and continued a consistent form of results, standing third at the table at the time of the October international break, as well as advancing to the fourth round of the EFL Cup. However, their results began to deteriorate, losing to Liverpool in the fourth round of the EFL Cup and winning only once in 9 games since the end of the international break. As a result, head coach Unai Emery was sacked on 29 November, and former player Freddie Ljungberg took over as caretaker manager. He led Arsenal to the round of 32 in the Europa League, but had only won once in 5 games, and was replaced on 20 December by Manchester City assistant coach and former captain Mikel Arteta.[7] New boss Arteta named his coaching staff on 24 December, with assistants Albert Stuivenberg and Steve Round, and goalkeeping coach Iñaki Caña joining the club. Ljungberg remained as assistant coach, and goalkeeping coach Sal Bibbo stayed to work with Caña.[8][9]
Results showed an improvement following Arteta's third game in charge against Manchester United, which Arsenal had won 2–0, and Arteta had signed defenders Pablo Mari and Cedric Soares on loans with options to buy in the winter transfer window. Arsenal beat Leeds United and Bournemouth to move to the fifth round of the FA Cup, and remained undefeated in all competitions in 2020 until 27 February, when Greek club Olympiacos knocked them out of the round of 32 of the Europa League on away goals by winning 2–1 at the Emirates. Arsenal remained consistent domestically, advancing to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup after defeating Portsmouth but remaining in roughly the same mid-table position in the Premier League.
The COVID-19 pandemic caused all competitions to be suspended from March until 17 June, when Arsenal played Manchester City in a game originally scheduled to take place on 11 March, and lost 3–0.[10] Further defeats to Brighton, Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa condemned Arsenal to an eighth-place finish, far from a European qualification spot and with the worst points return over a 38-game Premier League season. However, victories in the FA Cup against Sheffield United in the quarter-finals and Manchester City in the semi-finals put Arsenal in the final, where they beat Chelsea 2–1 on 1 August to win their only silverware of the season and gain qualification to the Europa League.[11]
