Arsenal ease into the first five games of the Premier League season with home games against West Ham, on the opening day, Liverpool and Stoke City, and away trips to Crystal Palace and Newcastle United.
But things start to get harder from that point with a trip to champions Chelsea coming on September 19 and Manchester United visiting Emirates Stadium on October 3.

The first North London derby of the season comes at Emirates Stadium on November 7, with Arsenal unbeaten in their past five home games against their local rivals. The return fixture comes on March 5.
Arsenal’s title run-in is largely favourable. They must visit Etihad Stadium in their penultimate match but also face West Brom, Everton, Watford, West Ham, Crystal Palace, Sunderland, Norwich and Aston Villa in their final nine matches.
So if they are within touching distance come the spring, Arsene Wenger will feel optimistic about claiming a first title since 2005.
