The 2024-25 Premier League fixture list has been released with Arsenal kicking off the season with a home game against Wolverhampton Wanderers on August 17.
Good news for traditionalists is that the match which will be an old school Saturday 3pm kick-off as it has not been selected for live TV coverage.
In a tough start, Mikel Arteta's side will face three of last season’s top five away from home in their first three away trips.
First, will be a game at Aston Villa, before a north London derby at the home of Tottenham Hotspur, rounded off with a visit to the reigning champions Manchester City on September 21.
December will see Manchester United head to North London for a Tuesday night clash, while the festive period sees games at Crystal Palace and Brentford sandwiched between a home game against Ipswich Town on Boxing Day - the first league match with the Suffolk side since 2002.
The new year begins with an away game against Brighton before three massive home fixtures in the space of two weeks.
The North London derby against Spurs will be a midweek clash on Tuesday, January 14, while after Aston Villa visit four days later, Arsenal kick-off February with the arrival of City.
We have to wait until February 15 for our first trip at a newly promoted club when we face Leicester City, with a game at Portman Road on April 19.
Three of the Gunners last five games are at home - Crystal Palace and Bournemouth - before a huge fixture against Liverpool at Anfield.
Our final game at Emirates Stadium comes against Newcastle United, before the campaign concludes at Southampton on Sunday, May 25.
