The 2002-03 season was Arsenal F.C.'s 11th year in the Premier League. This article shows statistics of the club's players in the season, and also lists all matches that the club has played in the season.

The club from North London began the new campaign as Double winners and with current manager Arsène Wenger committing himself to the club for a further four years, there was more expectation then ever as to whether this current crop of superstars could retain their status as England's finest or make a stride forward by dominating Europe for years to come.

With their brand of stylish, swashbuckling football assisted by flawless passing and accurate visionary skills, it became a matter of which Arsenal player would go on to score rather than if and how. Comparisons between the Ajax’s, Real Madrid’s and Liverpool’s of yesteryear were rightly made as the season progressed and the bookies, plaudits and pundits were won over come November that the title would stay in the trophy cabinet of Highbury – not aware of the team’s badly timed slip up, domestically and aboard come the early weeks of Spring.
