Tentative Arsenal Fixtures for Next Year

The Daily Mail has released Arsenal's next season schedule and there are some interesting aspects to it.


The first thing that popped out at me was that we start away at Everton and finish at home to Fulham. I think its always nice to finish the season at home, but its unfortunate that we have to start away.

Another thing I noticed was a brutal end of January scheduling where we face Man United (H), then Chelsea (A) then Liverpool (H). This will probably be the make-or-break part of the season and could go a long way in determining who is the champion. Afterwards, though, our schedule looks very light and there is serious potential to run the table after those three fixtures.

In general, our schedule looks fairly balanced bar those three fixtures but it definately looks like January-Feburary will be our toughest months. It is important that we have (somewhat) easier fixtures near the end if we are involved in other competitions, but early matches verses United, City and Everton could prove tough while also trying to qualify for the Champions League.
