Although the fixture schedule has been relatively busy for Arsenal since the completion of the World Cup, their next seven games come in a 23-day period, which is due to test Mikel Arteta and his side to the maximum. Arsenal have responded to a recent dip in form and the late win at Aston Villa is sure to galvanise the group to find their winning formula again.
With a run of 10 Premier League games ending with the rematch against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, Arsenal know going into the game with momentum will be key. However, an international break is due to interrupt the season before this and the seven games before Gareth Southgate and his fellow international coaches steal away the club’s stars will provide a true test.
Three of the seven games will have an approximate three-day gap between them, with the other fixtures being separated by just four days. football.london takes a look through all seven games to assess the challenges and opportunities each one presents.
