Could Arsenal win the Champions League this season? The Gunners reached the quarter-finals last year only to be knocked out by Bayern Munich but have started this campaign with a win and a draw against Paris St-Germain and Atalanta.

"Manchester City are favourites for the competition but Arsenal could beat them to the Premier League. That in itself shows the consistency that Arsenal are able to put in through the course of a season and the levels they can play at.

"The team seem to have a good level of maturity and can really go up more gears offensively."
