The run-in to 2022 looks the most difficult sequence of games for Marcelo Bielsa’s side, who are at European champions Chelsea on the weekend of December 11/12, and the team they beat in the final, Manchester City, on the Wednesday. They host Arsenal the weekend before Christmas, are at Liverpool on Boxing Day and host Aston Villa on December 28.

Provided the Covid-19 pandemic allows, fans can expect a first trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on October 20/21, and the club’s first game at Brentford’s new Community Stadium is the last fixture of the season, on May 22.
