Your support makes all the difference.Arsenal fans will hope that a difficult start to the 2016/17 Premier League season will not be a sign of things to come after being handed an opening weekend fixture against Liverpool, with defending champions Leicester City up second.
However, while the exciting start will have Arsenal supporters eager for the new season to start, there is always one fixture that catches the eye immediately: when is the north London derby against Tottenham?
Fans will have a wait on their hands this season as the two clubs do not meet until the 5 November, when Tottenham travel to the Emirates to face Arsenal. The battle between the two sides went right down to the wire last season, with the Gunners just beating Spurs to second place on the final day of the season.
But both clubs will be determined to go one better this season and win the Premier League title, having seen Leicester secure the phenomenal achievement of going from bottom of the table to Premier League champions in little over a year.
