Arsenal discovered their 2022/23 Premier League fixture list on Thursday morning. And for the second season in a row, they'll be kicking off the new campaign away from home on a Friday night in London.
Last August it was a trip to newly-promoted Brentford for the Gunners where they were soundly beaten 2-0 and this time around they return to a ground that may still bring back bad memories from last season with a visit to Selhurst Park to face a Crystal Palace side that were 3-0 winners in the corresponding fixture.
Opening game aside, the Premier League fixtures announcement was a little different this year as one look at the calendar shows there are no games penciled in after November 12 all the way up until Boxing Day when Arsenal welcome West Ham United to the Emirates Stadium.
