Arsenal will begin the new Premier League campaign with a home game against newly promoted Coventry City on the evening of Friday 21st August. That’s followed by a trip to face Aston Villa away, before we host Chelsea at home.
The first North London derby is away from home in the first week of December, with Sp*rs set to visit actual North London in early May to suffer further humiliation at the feet of Eberechi Eze.
Other key fixtures include Man City at home in November and away in January; Liverpool away in October and at home in February; and Man Utd home in December with a trip to Old Trafford in February; before we round things out with a home game against Brighton on Sunday May 30th.
