Arsenal best XI: Build the Gunners' greatest team from across the decades

A wave of football nostalgia has filled the schedules of late in the absence of live matches caused by coronavirus.

Countless hours over recent weeks have been spent reliving memorable encounters and standout individual performances from years gone by, ranging from Premier League classics, to cup finals and World Cup clashes.

'Best XIs' have also become a staple of football conversation and debate on social media during this unprecedented period, with many teams made up of the best players from across the eras.

Here at Standard Sport, we want to know what you think, Arsenal fans.

Who would be included in your greatest-ever Gunners XI?

Firstly, we'll be asking you to pick from which decade - beginning in the 1950s - you would like each area of the team to be sourced, before then presenting you with the best players and combinations from that specific time period.

Of course, every great team requires a manager of similar stature, and you can also select from our options of the most notable Arsenal gaffers from each era.

Can anyone challenge Arsene Wenger?

Arsenal fans, vote in the poll above!
