Arsene Wenger FA Cup
Arsenal won their second consecutive FA Cup in 2015 – Wenger’s sixth overall

The Arsenal manager has had an interesting 2015. It started with the win over Premier League title holders Manchester City in January at the Etihad before knocking Manchester United out of the FA Cup, brushing aside any doubts that the Gunners were poor travellers against the big sides. Arsenal also retained the FA Cup after systematically dismantling Aston Villa 4-0 in the final. “A perfect day,” Wenger had said.

Wenger’s men have also been the best side when it comes to playing away games. No other Premier League side has won more points away from home this year. With respect to total points in 2015, again, it is Arsenal right at the top above the two Manchester clubs.

A great escape in the Champions League also saw them qualify for the Round of 16 for a 16th consecutive season beating Bayern Munich once again in the competition, this time in the group stage.

Arsenal are currently top of the Premier League table as Wenger looks to win his first league title since the Invincibles season in 2003/04.
