Arsenal’s Busy Week: Key Fixtures and Press Conferences Ahead
With matches lined up almost every day this week, Arsenal Football Club is set for a busy period of fixtures and media engagements. From the men’s and women’s senior teams to the under-21s and under-18s, it’s a packed schedule that offers fans plenty to follow.
On Sunday, both the men’s and women’s teams secured 2-2 draws against Manchester City. Arsenal’s analyst Adrian Clarke will provide an in-depth review of the men’s team’s Premier League match, focusing on their performance before and after being reduced to ten players. Meanwhile, “Loan Watch” will provide insights into the performances of Arsenal players on loan, including Reiss Nelson‘s two goals in two games for Fulham.
In addition to match results, Arsenal is celebrating a significant milestone under Jonas Eidevall — the women’s team has now scored 300 goals during his tenure. Beth Mead‘s late equaliser against Manchester City was the milestone goal, and a retrospective look at pivotal goals from Eidevall’s era will be featured.
Upcoming matches include the under-21s facing Stoke City at Britannia Stadium in an effort to continue their impressive start in the Premier League 2 season. Head coach Mehmet Ali is preparing his young squad for a challenging fixture.
On the media front, Mikel Arteta will address the press ahead of the Carabao Cup tie against Bolton Wanderers.

The full press conference will be available online and through the official Arsenal app.
Similarly, Jonas Eidevall will speak to the media before the UEFA Women’s Champions League second round qualifier against BK Hacken. Arsenal is aiming to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg in their upcoming match at Mangata Pay UK Stadium.
In domestic competition, Arsenal will welcome Bolton Wanderers to the Emirates Stadium for the Carabao Cup third round. Despite a challenging start in League One, Bolton is coming off a victorious 5-2 win over Reading. Fans can access pre-match build-up and post-match content on Arsenal’s digital platforms.
The weekend will see Arsenal’s senior teams back in action against Leicester City. The men’s team is set to host Leicester at the Emirates Stadium for a Premier League clash, while the women’s team faces the Foxes in an away game at King Power Stadium, both aiming to improve their standings after recent draws.
