The Premier League fixtures for the 2016/17 season were announced on Wednesday morning and Arsenal have been given a tough start as it host Liverpool at the Emirates on August 13.
Arsenal will then take on newly-crowned champions, Leicester City, at the King Power before facing Watford at Vicarage Road at the end of August.
Southampton then come to the Emirates after the September international break before Arsenal will take on newly-promoted Hull City the following week.
Chelsea then make the short trip to the Emirates at the end of September rounding off what is a tough start that sees Arsenal face Liverpool, Leicester, Southampton and Chelsea inside the opening six games, as well as having to navigate tricky away trips to Watford and Hull.
Another major is on November 5 at the Emirates, a week before Arsenal will take on Manchester United at Old Trafford.
The Christmas and New Year period is favourable as we have back-to-back home games against West Brom and Crystal Palace before taking on Bournemouth away at the start of 2017.
However, the Gunners run-in looks tough as they face Tottenham [A], Man Utd [H], Stoke [A] and Everton [H] during the final four games of the season.
