They've been at every Gunners game throughout 2024, so our photographers have captured plenty of drama and glorious moments through their lens throughout the past 12 months.
Therefore, we've asked veteran club snappers Stuart MacFarlane and David Price as well as Alex Burstow - who has helped cover a lot of our women's matches - to flick through their archives and select their favourite shots of the year.
They could only opt for 12 each, so enjoy the pick of the pics as they also explain how they achieved them, and why they stand out:
Stuart MacFarlane
1: David fell back into the net after a shooting session and I was lucky enough to be in the perfect position to capture this.
2: I really like the contrast of emotions between Kai, Jorginho and the Brighton defenders who couldn’t prevent Kai from scoring.
3: I luckily got the timing of this shot perfectly as the Wolves player's boot made contact with Gabby’s chin, luckily he wasn’t injured by the challenge.
4: Big Gabi always makes great expressions, especially after goals. He loves to show the fans what it means to him.
5: I shot this quite loose to show as much rain as possible. Getting soaked at games is an occupational hazard not just for Mikel and the players, but for photographers as well!
6: I poked my lens through the goal net in this post-training shooting session. Thankfully Bukayo put the ball in the top corner and not straight at me!
7: A silhouette of Dec in a quiet moment during an intense training session.
8: The height he jumps and the expression of Mikel make for a really powerful image - he nearly jumped out of the top of the picture.
9: Bukayo enjoying a post-training competition with Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly. Training is always professional but there is always time for some fun after.
10: It’s always a challenge to get this shot as I have to edge my way into the huddle whilst trying not to be intrusive.
11: I was in the ideal position for Bukayo’s iconic celebration, such a simple picture but very satisfying to capture.
12: The captain prepares to lead his team out. I love Martin’s expression, so focused.
David Price
1: I love this big show of emotion from Martin after we beat Liverpool in the league.
2: A light-hearted one which makes me smile - Big Gabi’s expression of innocence following a challenge with Alexander Isak.
3: Probably my favourite picture of 2024. You can see what it means to the players to beat Porto after a penalty shootout. You are never sure what will happen but this picture works really well, so I'm very happy with this one.
4: I really like how many of our players are in this picture, all rushing to celebrate with goalscorer Kai. The fact it's at Tottenham makes it all the more sweeter!
5: The final game of an amazing season, and a great display before the match to get the supporters pumped up.
6: Another fun one - the Arsenal academy under-8s run past me as they make their way off the pitch at half-time.
7: This is from the pre-season media day on the Premier League's set and I was lucky to be able to shoot some behind-the-scenes stuff. I like how focused Jurrien is with all the Arsenal flags and banners around him.
8: Two in one year - another nice celebration picture from Tottenham. I like how you can see the veins popping on Big Gabi after his goal!
9: Declan was getting a bit of stick from the Sporting Lisbon fans as he took the corner that led to Big Gabi’s goal so he simply celebrated with a big smile back to them.
10: Martin Odegaard before the match against Manchester United - like Stu's pic above I just love the focus he shows ahead of the match.
11: A nice action picture as Gabriel Jesus rides the challenge from Trevoh Chalobah on his way to scoring his first of a memorable hat trick.
12: You have to love the big smile on Gabby's face after scoring his second against a couple of weeks ago.
Alex Burstow
1: My favourite goal picture from the year: I think this shows how impressive Alessia Russo’s jump was to score this header against London City Lionesses.
2: A sold-out Emirates Stadium and a WSL record crowd for our game against Manchester United.
3: This is my favourite celebration picture from this year, I really like how this captures Kim Little’s joy as she is lifted up and congratulated by her teammates after scoring a penalty.
4: The pyrotechnics went off at just the right time as Katie McCabe enjoys the League Cup victory against Chelsea at Molineux.
5: This is my favourite picture of the team celebrating that final success over the Blues in front of the supporters who made the trip to Wolverhampton.
6: Beth Mead celebrates the third goal against Leicester City at Emirates Stadium. I particularly like how this contrasts with the emotions of the opposition players in the background.
7: I really like how the light has fallen in this picture, spotlighting Victoria Pelova’s strength to keep possession against two Manchester City players.
8: This is my favourite team huddle picture from the year: Kim Little leads the team in front of the North Bank.
9: I like this picture of the starting 11 looking very focused ahead of their first Champions League match at Emirates Stadium this season, and the display of fan support in the background.
10: I’ve chosen this picture as it captures Lina Hurtig’s determination to evade a challenge on her return to the pitch for the first time since November 2023.
11: I shot this picture during an early-evening training session after arriving in Oslo in sub-zero temperatures, and I think this picture of Beth Mead captures the freezing conditions well.
12: The away support throughout the year has been brilliant so it was great to be able to capture a picture of Frida interacting with fans after the match against Valarenga in Norway.
