The start of the festive period appears to be underway in earnest at Arsenal after the club launched a new line of Christmas jumpers with the help of first-team stars, Arsene Wenger and Gunnersaurus.

Working in association with charity Save the Children, Arsenal have committed to donating 20 percent of revenues generated by the £35 jumpers sold through their direct channels.

Alexandre Lacazette, Aaron Ramsey and Mesut Ozil were all willing participants for the photo shoot at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday morning, although Alexis Sanchez's expression suggests he had better places to be.

But the Chilean has been happy to pose in Arsenal Christmas jumpers in years gone by, which has helped to raise an impressive £2million for the children's charity thus far.

Arsenal fans will be encouraged to purchase the festive knits ahead of Save the Children's Christmas Jumper Day on December 15, when people will have the option to donate money in exchange for wearing a Christmas jumper to work or school.

The team photo is likely to be a welcome distraction ahead of what may prove to be a defining period in Arsenal's season.

They can seal top spot in their Europa League group by beating Red Star Belgrade on Thursday but then face a trip to Manchester City before welcoming north London rivals the very next week.

Arsenal have been notoriously vulnerable in recent Novembers and the two Premier League clashes against the title contenders will provide firm evidence as to how successful their campaign will be.
