One of the most celebrated teams in the Premier League, with a loyal fanbase that has high expectations, Arsenal have experienced mixed fortunes in recent years – and last season was no exception.
Following a tricky start which saw them bottom of the Premier League table after losing their first three games, the league's youngest side, led by its youngest manager, Mikel Arteta, rallied to finish fifth. And while they just missed out on a Champions League spot, they did qualify for the Europa League.
So, how did they do it? A new documentary from Amazon, All or Nothing: Arsenal, is going behind the scenes to tell you how. The first three episodes debut today (August 4) across the world, to coincide with the launch of the new Premier League season.
The story of Arsenal's 2021/22 season is narrated by Oscar and BAFTA winner Daniel Kaluuya, a life-long fan of the club, and the documentary lifts the lid on former club captain Arteta's management approach in particular.

Arteta shares personal anecdotes with the team, draws graphs charting his emotional state for the players, brings the club's chief photographer into the dressing room for an impassioned pre-match pep talk, and so on.
What to Read Next
In one memorable scene, he has the players train ahead of a match at Anfield while 'You'll Never Walk Alone', Liverpool fans' iconic matchday anthem of choice, plays over large speakers.
The series explores various flashpoints in Arsenal's season – from a heated training ground argument, to fan protests following the swiftly-abandoned European Super League breakaway proposal, to Pierre-Emerick Aubemeyang losing his captaincy (he eventually moved to La Liga side Barcelona partway through the season).
You can expect plenty of insight from the players too, including Bukayo Saka discussing the pressures that come with fame and intense media scrutiny, and Kieran Tierney's candid reflections on his childhood and struggling with his mental health.
There will be eight episodes of All or Nothing: Arsenal in total, with a further three following on August 11 and the last two on August 18. Here's how you can tune in.
How to watch All or Nothing: Arsenal
Amazon Prime Video Watch All or Nothing: Arsenal
All or Nothing: Arsenal is streaming exclusively on Amazon Prime Video, and to watch the series, you'll need membership.
You can choose between Amazon's Prime Video-only membership, priced at £5.99 per month in the UK. Alternatively, for the full Amazon Prime members' experience, including premium delivery options, access to 2 million songs on Amazon Music, plus Prime Reading and Prime Gaming – you can pay a little more per month.
Amazon Prime membership is currently priced at £7.99 per month or £79 per year in the UK. However, there will be a price rise on September 15 to £8.99 per month or £95 per year – so if you can afford to do so, the most cost-effective option is to take yearly membership prior to that date.

If you're in the US, Amazon Prime membership is priced at $14.99 per month or $139 per year.
Don't forget as well that you can also watch other documentaries in the All or Nothing series with your Amazon Prime or Prime Video membership – including Manchester City's successful 2017-18 season (narrated by Sir Ben Kingsley) and Tottenham Hotspur's difficult 2019-20 campaign (narrated by Tom Hardy).
And if you're into Serie A, there's also an All or Nothing series devoted to Juventus' tricky 2020-21 season.
All or Nothing: Arsenal premieres today (August 4), streaming exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. New episodes will be released on August 11 and August 18.
