Arsenal’s Premier League fixtures for the 2024/25 campaign have been revealed so it’s time to pick out the key dates for the season, and the Gunners could win the league at Anfield - again!
The Gunners kick off the season hosting Wolverhampton Wanders at the Emirates on Saturday August 17 at 3pm.
Wolves finished 14th last season and should be a winnable, yet testing, game to start the campaign – and hopefully show off a few new signings.
For the rest of August, Arsenal travel to fellow Champions League side Aston Villa before Brighton at home.
September looks particularly tricky with Tottenham away and Manchester City away either side of the opening Champions League matchday.
It’ll be a difficult early test for the Gunners right after the first international break, and could be a decisive week for the title chances despite being so early in the season.
Either way, it’ll be a good measure of where Arsenal are at.
At the end of October Arsenal host Liverpool, in early November they travel to Chelsea and in early December they welcome Manchester United.
Leicester City at home is the first of the fixtures against newly promoted teams, a week before Southampton, both travelling to London on matchdays six and seven.
On Boxing Day, Ipswich Town come to the Emirates while Brentford away fills the gap between Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.
In the latter half of the season, Manchester City at home falls at the start of February, while March features the reverse games against Chelsea and Manchester United.
Bournemouth at home starts the run-in in May before a massive trip away to Anfield to face Liverpool with three games to go.
Newcastle at home and Southampton away round of the season in a reasonably straightforward final month aside from Liverpool.
There will always be good and bad times to play every team, but the Gunners should be fairly happy with the fixtures.
A good opening game, big games spread out across the season and a decent enough run-in.
Now the fixtures are out, all the Arsenal focus is on pre-season and hopefully a few signings.
