Review[]
Last season, French centre-back William Saliba spent a year on loan with Marseille in Ligue 1. During his time with Marseille, Saliba made a total of 52 appearances in all competitions, and helped the club to second in the league, whilst also reaching the semi-finals of the inaugural Europa Conference League season. Saliba was named as Ligue 1 Young Player of the Year and was awarded a position in the Team of the Year. He also won his first caps for France. In early June 2022, Saliba confirmed he would return to north London from his Marseille loan spell. He would wear the number 12 shirt from the 2022–23 season.
On 19 May 2022, three days before the last game of the 2021–22 season, Arsenal announced Greek defender Konstantinos Mavropanos joined Bundesliga side VfB Stuttgart in a permanent transfer. Furthermore, on 10 June, the club announced they were to release nine players, two of whom made men's first-team appearances for the Gunners (Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah). Eight days later, Arsenal confirmed English striker and Academy graduate Eddie Nketiah signed a new long-term contract, and would wear the number 14 shirt from the 2022–23 season, having previously worn the number 30. The departure of French midfielder Matteo Guendouzi to Ligue 1 side Marseille was announced on 1 July.
Arsenal announced their first signing on 10 June with Brazilian forward Marquinhos joining the club on a long-term contract from Série A side São Paulo. On 21 June, the club announced the signing of Portuguese midfielder Fábio Vieira from Primeira Liga side Porto. He was given the number 21 shirt. Six days later, the Gunners confirmed American goalkeeper and Arsenal fan Matt Turner joined the club from Major League Soccer side New England Revolution, and would wear the number 30 shirt.
In July 2022, the Gunners announced two signings of notable players from fellow Premier League side Manchester City, where Mikel Arteta spent three years and a half at as an assistant coach to Pep Guardiola before returning to Arsenal as head coach. On 4 July, Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus joined Arsenal on a long-term contract, and was assigned the number 9 shirt. With the ability to play in many positions, he is one of the leading strikers in the Premier League during his six seasons in Manchester City. On 22 July, Ukrainian left-sided player and Arsenal supporter Oleksandr Zinchenko, who is comfortable operating in midfield and defence, joined the club on a long-term contract, and would wear the number 35 shirt. Jesus and Zinchenko have both won four Premier League titles, the FA Cup and a number of EFL Cups. Manager Arteta believed that Jesus and Zinchenko would help bring a winning mentality to the squad.
The Gunners continued their summer exodus after signing five players. In late July, the club announced the loan departures of English goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo and Portuguese defender Nuno Tavares to League Two side Crewe Alexandra and Ligue 1 side Marseille respectively.
On 2 August, Arsenal announced German goalkeeper Bernd Leno, who had made 125 appearances for the club in all competitions, joined fellow Premier League side Fulham in a permanent transfer. On the next day, the Gunners confirmed English goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale took the number one shirt, moving from his previous number 32 following Leno's move to Fulham.
The departures of five first-team players were announced afterwards, as English forward Folarin Balogun joined Ligue 1 side Reims on a season-long loan, Uruguayan midfielder Lucas Torreira completed his transfer to Süper Lig side Galatasaray, Spanish defender Pablo Marí joined Serie A side A.C. Monza on a one-year loan deal, Icelandic goalkeeper Rúnar Alex Rúnarsson joined Süper Lig side Alanyaspor on loan for the 2022–23 season, and Ivorian winger Nicolas Pépé joined Ligue 1 side OGC Nice on a season-long loan.
August[]
The Gunners began their Premier League campaign away at Selhurst Park against Crystal Palace on 5 August. Gabriel Jesus, William Saliba, and Oleksandr Zinchenko made their competitive debuts for the team in a 2–0 win. Gabriel Martinelli opened the scoring in the 20th minute with a header assisted by Zinchenko, becoming the first Brazilian to net a season-opening goal of a Premier League campaign. In the 85th minute, Bukayo Saka's cross was deflected home by Marc Guéhi to ensure Mikel Arteta registered his 50th league victory, making him the second-quickest manager to reach 50 top-flight wins for Arsenal after Arsène Wenger.
On 13 August, the club played their first home match of the season against Leicester City. Gabriel Jesus netted twice in the first half on his home debut, becoming the first player to score more than once on his home Premier League debut for Arsenal. Despite a Wiliam Saliba own goal in the 53th minute, Granit Xhaka scored just two minutes later. Moments after James Maddison scored for the Foxes, Gabriel Martinelli netted in the 75th minute, made the score 4–2.
Seven days later, Arsenal continued their Premier League campaign, facing newly promoted Bournemouth away at Dean Court. Captain Martin Ødegaard netted twice within the opening 11 minutes. Wiliam Saliba scored with a left-footed curled shot from the edge of the box to the top right corner in the 54th minute, becoming the youngest Frenchman to score a Premier League goal for the Gunners since Samir Nasri in November 2008 vs Manchester United,, and sealing a 3-0 win for Arsenal. Bukayo Saka became the second youngest player to play 100 times for the club in the Premier League, behind Cesc Fàbregas.
On 27 August, the Gunners played at home against newly promoted Fulham and former Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno, who had signed with the Cottagers three days before the start of the Premier League season. In the 56th minute, Gabriel Magalhães hesitated to pick a pass and lost possession on the edge of his own box to allow Aleksandar Mitrović to put Fulham ahead. Eight minutes later, Martin Ødegaard equalised with a deflected strike from Bukayo Saka's pass. In the 85th minute, a Martinelli corner caused havoc in a congested box and Gabriel Magalhães redeemed himself with a scrambled finish from close range, made the score 2–1. The win marked Arteta's 100th Premier League game in charge and ensured it was the third time the club had won each of their first four games of a Premier League season, after 2003-04 and 2004-05. It was also the first time Arsenal conceded the first goal in the second half of a Premier League match and managed to come back and win since December 2013 against West Ham United.

Rules for classification: 1st points; 2nd goal difference; 3rd number of goals scored.
(C) = Champion; (R) = Relegated; (P) = Promoted; (O) = Play-off winner; (A) = Advances to a further round; (Q) = Qualified to the phase of tournament
Notes
- Since both finalists of the 2022–23 FA Cup, Manchester City and Manchester United, qualified for the Champions League as a result of their league positions, the second Europa League group stage berth allocated to England was transferred to the sixth-placed team.
- Since the winners of the 2022–23 EFL Cup, Manchester United, qualified for the Champions League, the Europa Conference League berth awarded to the EFL Cup winners was transferred to the highest-placed Premier League team not already qualified for European competition, the seventh-placed team.
