    The documentary series will also capture the highs and lows of life at the Arsenal Training Centre and follow the team off the pitch to show the daily challenges faced by the athletes throughout the pressure-filled competition calendar.

    “We are looking forward to giving our fans around the world a unique insight into how we work day to day.

    We have one of the biggest global followings in the game and one consistent thing we hear from fans is their desire to see more about what happens behind closed doors at the club,” said Mark Gonnella, Arsenal’s media and communications director.

    “All or Nothing: Arsenal” follows the previous two instalments in the documentary series — “All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur” and “All or Nothing: Manchester City”.

    Dan Grabiner, head of UK Originals, Amazon Studios, said “All or Nothing: Arsenal” will give the audience an intimate access to the passion and commitment behind sport.

    “Arsenal is a historic club going through a fascinating period, and we can’t wait to take viewers behind-the-scenes on the journey of this crucial season.

    ‘All or Nothing’ is about intimate access to the passion and commitment behind elite sport, and in Arsenal we have the perfect subject for the next chapter,” he said.

    The documentary series will be produced by 72 Films, executive produced by Mark Raphael, Clare Cameron and three-time BAFTA winner John Douglas.

  • Arsenal need a Bruno Fernandes signing in January, but who could it be

    There’s not much festive cheer around the Emirates this year as Arsenal made their worst start to a league season for over 40 years before a crushing 4-1 defeat to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday (stream the replay on ESPN+ in the U.S.) piled more pressure on manager Mikel Arteta.

    With only 12 goals in the Premier League this season (leaders Liverpool have 36), the Gunners are crying out for creativity and leadership on the pitch. Though Arsenal’s problems run deeper than just one player, they’re clearly not creating enough in the last third and an inspirational playmaker could have the same sort of galvanising effect on the team as Bruno Fernandes had on a struggling Manchester United last January.

    While it’s rare that January signings have such an instant impact as the Portuguese had at Old Trafford, a strong character with the right mentality and experience could help to revitalise the undoubted ability in the Arsenal squad, especially as it would allow €50m summer signing Thomas Partey to shine in his deeper role once he returns from injury.

  • Lacazette and Arsenal give returning fans a show as Gunners warm up for Spurs in style

    The Arsenal fans are back – and Alexandre Lacazette could be as well. The France striker has started the last two Premier League games on the bench for the Gunners, but he must now be at the forefront of Mikel Arteta’s mind for Sunday’s crucial north London derby at Tottenham following this excellent showing against Rapid Vienna in the Europa League.

    Lacazette scored one and had a hand in another as Arsenal guaranteed qualification to the knockout stages as group winners with a 4-1 win in front of 2,000 fans at Emirates Stadium.

    It was the first time since March that Arsenal had played in front of supporters on their own ground and they responded with a performance as good as we’ve seen for a long time.

    The Spaniard made 11 changes from the team that lost to Wolves at the weekend, with Lacazette one again starting in a deeper No.10 role behind Eddie Nketiah, just as he had done in the win at Molde last week.

    And the forward was the star of the show as Arsenal proved far too good for Vienna during an excellent opening 45 minutes in north London.

    He opened the scoring after just 10 minutes, crashing a swerving shot past Richard Strebinger from 30 yards to end a run of eight games without a goal.

    And then, soon after the returning Pablo Mari had made it 2-0 with a glancing header from Reiss Nelson’s corner as he hit the post with a smart snapshot from the edge of the box.
