Arsenal are entering the new Premier League season with confidence after winning the title, and their approach is focused on attacking rather than prioritising defence. The mindset is illustrated in their opening match against Coventry, which is described as falling victim to Arsenal’s swagger early on.
Both sources present the same core theme: Arsenal’s previous label as “nearly men” shifts after their title success, and this change in attitude carries into the start of the season. While the coverage is not detailed about tactics beyond the emphasis on attacking, the comparison to Coventry sets the tone for how Arsenal are expected to play—pressing forward and taking the initiative.
