Arsenal’s Five Biggest Games of 2023/24 and How to Buy Tickets

The 2023/24 season is looming and, particularly for Arsenal, it is projected to be of huge magnitude. This new campaign is expected to attract sell-out crowds to the Emirates Stadium, and SeatPick is the way to go when looking to secure your tickets to Arsenal matches.

Arsenal have made strides under manager Mikel Arteta, with clear signs of continued progress since his appointment in December 2019. The Gunners led the Premier League for much of the 2022/23 season but didn’t quite manage to get over the line, as they finished runners-up to champions Manchester City.

Arsenal ended 5 points adrift of the Citizens who conquered the English top flight for a fifth time in six years under Pep Guardiola.

Having now strengthened his ranks significantly, Arteta has his eye on another title charge with the aim of going one step further this time around. The North London club has invested north of £200m during the summer transfer market, bolstering its squad with the arrivals of Kai Havertz from Chelsea, Jurrien Timber from Ajax and Declan Rice from West Ham United.

The latter commanded an eye-watering transfer fee of £105m from West Ham, and Arsenal were left with no choice but to lay out a club record sum for the England international midfielder.

With a capacity of more than 60,000, the Emirates Stadium is one of the largest sports venues in England and there will be no shortage of demand for tickets to see Arsenal in action throughout the 2023/24 season.

Continue reading as we delve into Arsenal’s biggest home games in the upcoming season. We’ll also show you exactly how fans can get a hold of tickets to these highly-anticipated fixtures.

1. Arsenal vs Manchester United – 3rd September 2023

There will certainly be a boisterous atmosphere when Manchester United make the journey to North London, with both teams on upward trajectories under their current managers. Following an impressive 2022/23 season, the Red Devils are looking to go from strength to strength under Erik ten Hag. They will need no reminder of the importance of this particular fixture.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, these clubs were the chief title protagonists. Arsène Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson laid the foundations for the Premier League to become what it is today: the superior domestic league in world football.

This fixture produced an explosive encounter in the 2022/23 season, a 3-2 win in favour of the home side. Eddie Nketiah scored in second-half stoppage time to give the Gunners all 3 points.

Guaranteed tickets for this massive encounter can be safely purchased through SeatPick.

2. Arsenal’s First Champions League Home Game – September/October 2023

Arsenal make a grand return to the UEFA Champions League, featuring in the competition for the first time since 2016/17.

After six seasons away from UEFA’s premier club competition, the Gunners will be looking to immediately make up for lost time. As Champions League football returns under the lights at The Emirates, Arteta and his troops will be determined to lay down a marker against some of the meanest and strongest teams across Europe.

The Champions League group stage draw takes place on August 31st. Tickets will be available for purchase at SeatPick shortly thereafter.

The group phase commences on Tuesday, 19th September and Wednesday, 20th September. Should Arsenal play away from home in the opening round of group matches, then their first UCL match on home turf will take place on Tuesday, October 3rd or Wednesday, October 4th.

3. Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur – 24th September 2023

Tensions will flare and standards will rise when Derby Day hits north London. No matter the disparity between the teams at any given time, both sets of supporters immediately diarise this game once the Premier League fixtures are released each year.

The NLD usually delivers feisty clashes and the 2023/24 campaign should be no different in that regard. Arsenal should have the upper hand, given how far along they are into Arteta’s project.

In contrast, Ange Postecoglu is still coming to grips with life at Tottenham Hotspur. He will have it all to do when Spurs cross the north London divide for this fixture of massive proportions.

Don’t miss out on this enticing derby – visit SeatPick today for Arsenal vs Tottenham tickets.

4. Arsenal vs Manchester City – 7th October 2023

In order for Arsenal to have a worthwhile shot as title contenders they must take the fight to Man City and, for a lasting effect, will also have to take some points from the reigning champions.

In 2022/23, the teams met twice in the league and once in the FA Cup with the Citizens triumphant on all three occasions. Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland were amongst the goals when City won 3-1 at The Emirates in February 2023.

Until the end of the 2022/23 season, Arsenal were winless in 15 Premier League matches versus the Sky Blues. The Gunners had last gotten the better of Man City in a league fixture in December 2015.

5. Arsenal vs Liverpool – 3rd February 2024

The last of our top five Arsenal home games sees them entertain Liverpool, the opposition against whom things began to unravel for the Gunners’ title charge in April 2023.

Arteta’s side squandered a two-goal lead at Anfield, culminating in them falling short of the league title. Earlier in the 2022/23 season, Arsenal took victory over the Reds courtesy of goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka (2) in front of a rampant Emirates crowd.

The teams go way back and have fought a series of titanic battles over the years. Some of their most memorable meetings in recent times have come at The Emirates. On the opening day of the 2016/17 campaign, Liverpool edged a seven-goal thriller by four goals to three. The following season, the teams shared the spoils in a 3-3 stalemate.

There is no doubt this fixture will fetch a handsome in-house attendance. In order to avoid disappointment, visit SeatPick today to find Arsenal vs Liverpool tickets.
