The 2024/25 Premier League fixture list is now out, so here is how Arsenal’s first five games of the new season compare to their title rivals Liverpool and Manchester City.
Arsenal will expect to go toe-to-toe with Manchester City once again in 24/25 after pushing the Citizens closest in the past two seasons. Liverpool will also hope the foundations Jurgen Klopp left at Anfield means Arne Slot launches his tenure on Merseyside with a strong start.
Slot has taken charge of the Reds as their new head coach as Klopp resigned before guiding Liverpool to third place. The Anfield outfit finished 2023/24 nine points behind Manchester City, while Arsenal missed out on winning their first top-flight title in 20 years by two points.
It marked the second successive season that Arsenal ended the Premier League term as the runners-up, as well. Arteta will now bid to go one better and bring success back to Emirates Stadium in 24/25. He also knows Arsenal’s full fixture list for the new Premier League term.
Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur will also hope to get amongst the top four and possibly push Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool for the Premier League title. So, here is how Arsenal’s first five 24/25 Premier League fixtures compare to their rivals’…
