Arsenal’s Premier League journey has been mapped out today following the announcement of the 2016/17 fixtures and it gives Arsene Wenger’s side a tough start.

The Gunners begin their campaign by hosting Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, before travelling to face Leicester City and finishing August with a trip to Watford.

Notable fixtures include a clash with Chelsea on 24th September, the first north London derby of the season on November 5th and a trip to Old Trafford to face Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United on November 19th.

Arsenal’s run in to the season looks particularly difficult, as the Gunners finish April by travelling to White Hart Lane and the final three games of the season see they host Manchester United and Everton, either side of a trip to tackle Stoke City.

The festive season sees Arsenal face Manchester City on 17th December, tackling West Brom on Boxing Day, before hosting Crystal Palace on New Year’s Eve and travelling to Bournemouth on the 2nd January.

All fixtures are subject to change with the upcoming TV schedules, whilst there will also be reshuffles due to involvement in other competitions.
