The 2010–11 season was Arsenal Football Club's 19th season in the Premier League. The team were within one point of league leaders Manchester United at the end of February, but a run of just one league win throughout the entire of March and April ended their challenge. Arsenal's attempts to win the Champions League were ended once again by Barcelona, being beaten 4–3 on aggregate at the round of 16 stage after defeating them 2–1 at home, whilst hopes of winning the FA Cup were ended in the sixth round following a 2–0 defeat to Manchester United. The team came closest to silverware in the League Cup, reaching the final, only to concede a Birmingham City winner in the 89th minute.

Kit information

The classic Arsenal kit with white sleeves returns after using red sleeves controversially in 2008 and 2009. As usual, in order to prevent sock clashes in away games, Arsenal may wear red socks instead. The away kit features yellow shirt with maroon pinstripes, maroon shorts and yellow socks - it combines the yellow and maroon, the popular colours to Arsenal fans. The four goalkeeper kits are grey, black, jade-green and pink.

Other information

The chairman is Peter Hill-Wood.
