Some of the performances have left a little to be desired recently, but this Christmas is set to be a very happy one indeed for Arsenal.
Mikel Arteta's side currently sit top of the Premier League and Champions League tables and, on Tuesday night, secured their place in the semi-finals of the League Cup.
However, as brilliant as the North Londoners are, they can still struggle in attack at points, as their inability to put away their myriad of chances against Crystal Palace showed.

This is likely one of the reasons why so many Arsenal fans wanted the club to go in for Antoine Semenyo next month.
Still, the club have opted against doing so, perhaps in part because Andrea Berta and Co have already secured an incredible prospect who could become their own version of the Bournemouth star.
Arsenal's interest in Semenyo
With almost half of the Premier League season already gone, the campaign's standout players are starting to become clear.

One of those players has undoubtedly been Semenyo, who has been instrumental in Bournemouth's impressive form.
For example, in just 17 games across all competitions, totalling 1485 minutes, the former Bristol City gem has scored eight goals and provided three assists.
In other words, despite playing for one of the smaller teams in the league, for lack of a better term, the 25-year-old has averaged a goal involvement every 1.54 games, or every 135 minutes.
This has unsurprisingly led to many of the 'big six' becoming intensely interested in the dynamic winger in recent weeks, including, but to a lesser extent, the Gunners.

According to reports earlier this week, the North Londoners are fans of the Cherries ace, but, according to The Athletic's David Ornstein, they have refused to act on that interest before the summer.
This effectively ruled the Gunners out of the race, and now, unfortunately, the in-demand winger has reportedly agreed personal terms with title rivals Manchester City.
In all, Semenyo would've been an excellent signing for Arsenal, but the good news is that Berta and Co have already secured another highly promising youngster who could develop into their own version of him.
Arsenal's future Semenyo
What is it that makes Semenyo such an incredible player?
Well, on top of the goals, he is a dynamic but incredibly aware winger, someone who can and does often beat defenders with pure skill, but is just as capable of slowing things down and picking the perfect pass for his teammates.
Fortunately, these are traits that Arsenal's newest wonderkid, Edwin Quintero, happens to possess.
Berta and Co agreed a deal to sign the 16-year-old and his twin brother, Holger, earlier this month from Ecuador's most prestigious talent factory, Independiente de Valle.
The youngster won't actually join up with the first team until their 18th birthday in 2027, but that doesn't mean fans should temper their excitement.
For example, respected scout Jacek Kulig has described Ediwn as being "an absolute joy to watch" and crucially, a "10/10 talent."
The teenage phenom is someone who, in the words of analyst-turned-scout Ben Mattinson, has "the ability to run games and create something out of nothing."
Moreover, he can also take games by the scruff of the neck and is "so skilful and constantly uses flair to fool defenders and make smart passes."
Sounds quite a lot like someone on the southcoast, doesn't it?
Finally, U23 scout Antonio Mango has highlighted the prospect's "excellent close-control" and the fact that he is incredibly "dangerous from distance."
Ultimately, while it is still so early in his career, Edwin Quintero looks every bit the superstar in the making that so many believe him to be.
Moreover, he also has the core skills and attributes needed to become Arsenal's own Semenyo.
