Arsenal invisible squad invited to the Emirates for last game of the season

Arsenal have invited their unbeaten team to the Emirates for their final game of the season against Everton.

The Gunners are hoping that the great players who raised the Premier League trophy without losing a game will see Mikel Arteta's team break the club's 20-year title drought.

Arsene Wenger's men went the whole season unbeaten in the 2003–04 season, becoming the first team to reach that feat.

Arteta’s men will face Everton on the last day of the season as they push for the Premier League title.

Invisible invited for end-of-the-season game

According to reports from the Sun, legendary manager Arsene Wenger and every member of the first team from that exceptional season have been invited to the final day match against Everton on May 19 at the Emirates.

There will also be a separate lunch to commemorate the first and, to date, the only side in the modern age of English football to be undefeated for the whole top-flight season, regardless of the outcome of the day.

However, the event in two weeks may be one of the greatest celebrations in Arsenal's history, or it could be a melancholy occasion.

On May 15, 2004, Wenger and a squad that included Robert Pires, Patrick Vieira, and Thierry Henry recorded history at Highbury as they overcame a 2-1 deficit to defeat Leicester. As a result, they finished the season with 26 wins 12 draws and no loss in 38 games.

The club veterans' presence in the stands on the last day of the 2023–24 title battle would further heighten the moment and possibly put more pressure on Arteta and his players.

Plans are being made for the lunch and the end-of-term function with Arsenal keen to commemorate the accomplishment.
