Arsenal kick off their 2023-24 Premier League campaign against Nottingham Forest this weekend as they target the title after pushing Manchester City all the way last season.
The Gunners spent much of the 2022-23 campaign at the top of the table but were eventually caught by City as Pep Guardiola’s side went on to win the treble.
Crystal Palace and West Ham United travel to Sheffield United and Bournemouth respectively for their opening gamaes while Fulham are on the road at Everton. Brentford and Tottenham Hotspur are in London derby action on Sunday while Chelsea host Liverpool at Stamford Bridge in the afternoon kick off.
