The Gunners secured the Community Shield on Sunday as they beat Chelsea via a penalty shoot-out.

Leicester City still have Riyad Mahrez on their books, despite the fact he handed in a transfer request at the start of the summer.
Vincent Iborra has been their best piece of business this season, with Harry Maguire and Kelechi Iheanacho also signing.
