Aaron Ramsey claims that his side will have a much stronger start to the campaign after qualifying automatically for the group stages of the Champions League.
The Gunners finished above Manchester United in third place to avoid the qualifying round, and the 24-year-old feels that his side will reap the benefits in the Premier League.
Ramsey said "At the beginning of the season you're still getting your fitness levels up and those first few games are quite tough.
"If you sandwich a few Champions League fixtures in between them, that's maybe too much for certain players at that time of the season.
"So it's important to go through to the group stages without having that knock-out game to qualify. The good thing for us is not to have those games and hopefully that gets off to a very strong start."
