With David Luiz’s move from Chelsea to Arsenal now complete, ESPN FC’s Steve Nicol examines how Unai Emery should set up his new-look defence. Arsenal duo Mesut Ozil and Sead Kolasinac are “100 percent” ready to return after they were physically unharmed following an attempted carjacking last month, head coach Unai Emery has said.

Ahead of their Europa League clash with Qarabag, the Arsenal squad had their pregame training session interrupted by a very special visit from one of the Baku Olympic Stadium’s most distinguished denizens.
Things quickly ground to a halt when the stadium cat came strolling by to keep an eye on the players as they limbered up.
Sead Kolasinac spotted the feline interloper, and obviously Mesut Ozil wandered over to offer his assistance.

Despite Unai Emery’s fresh ideas at Arsenal, ESPN FC’s Craig Burley isn’t so sure the Gunners will secure a top four spot.
Petr Cech was the hero in Arsenal’s penalty shoot-out victory after Alexandre Lacazette’s injury-time equalizer offset Antonio Rudiger’s early goal.
Arsenal left-back Sead Kolasinac has been ruled out for up to 10 weeks with a knee injury, but the club is hoping Aaron Ramsey will be back in training as soon as next week.
Kolasinac went off injured during Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea in Dublin on Wednesday, which the Gunners ultimately won on penalties, and the club said on Friday he will miss the opening two months of the season.
Arsenal said the defender “sustained an injury to his left knee. Will be out for 8-10 weeks.”

The FC crew discuss the timing of Arsene Wenger’s decision to leave Arsenal, his legacy after 22 years at the club and what he will do next.
Arsenal’s squad could face a big — and according to some, much needed — overhaul this summer with the arrival of a new manager. Whoever takes up Arsene Wenger’s position will have some big decisions to make on which players to keep and which to sell as he tries to the Gunners back into title contenders.
Those decisions will, in part, be based on what type of system the new manager has in mind and which new signings he brings in during the transfer window. But here’s a prediction of which Arsenal…
