The new signing Alexandre Lacazette hit the post on her competitive debut in the first half which saw Per Mertesacker replaced after a facial injury, with the signing of new Sead Kola? Inac made his competitive debut as Mertesacker's successor. After ending the first half that did not produce a goal, Chelsea took an early second half lead through Victor Moses, a close-range shot coming from a poor corner of defense. Several shots kept making him look Arsenal will suffer defeat, until a rash challenge by Chelsea winger Pedro saw him expelled. The resulting free kick is led by Kola? Inac for a debut goal, and forced a penalty shootout. Arsenal won 4-1 through goals by Theo Walcott, Nacho Monreal, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Olivier Giroud, with Thibaut Courtois and ÃÆ'lvaro Morata penalizing on penalties that introduced the ABBA format. The result guaranteed the third Arsenal Community Shield FA in four seasons.
Arsenal start their Premier League campaign at home against Leicester City, with the Gunners losing their last two opener, both at home to West Ham and Liverpool. The record looked extended when Jamie Vardy and Shinji Okazaki scored for the Foxes after a record that equaled the 94th-minute opener from new Lacazette, opening his league debut with his first competitive Arsenal goal with only his second goal. touch game. Danny Welbeck equalized Arsenal in the last minute of the first half of extra time, but Vardy scored a second goal ten minutes into the second half to make Leicester lead once again. The Gunners seem to have lost their first game to the Foxes since 1994 when the last ten minutes approached, but a five-minute period from the pressure resulted in two goals from Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud making it 4-3, which is where the Gunners survived only for a second opening day win since 2012.
However, Arsenal's form slipped as August began to end. They suffered a 1-0 defeat against Stoke City after a poor defensive performance and a controversially disallowed goal from Alexandre Lacazette.

Three days later Arsenal play in the League Cup third round against League One team Doncaster Rovers at Emirates.

February
On 3 February the Gunners play in the Premier League at home against Everton - a match in which Arsenal make their home debut and first start for January players Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, both playing together earlier for Borussia Dortmund. Arsenal won the match 5-1 with Mkhitaryan bagging three assists, Aaron Ramsey scored a hat-trick and Aubameyang scored one goal.

The defeat of Arsenal will send City closer to the title of victory and will only inflict more misery on the Gunners and ArsÃÆ'¨ne Wenger. It only got worse for them on 4 March where the Gunners lost 2-1 at Brighton in the Premier League increasingly increasing the pressure on Wenger. However, on 8 March, the Gunners responded in the first leg of the Europa League where they won 2-0 against AC Milan in Italy and three days after they won 3-0 at home to Watford thanks to Shkodran Mustafi, Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
