🎧 189 | 2026/27 Fixtures: Arsenal's Road to Back‑to‑Back

THE FIXTURES ARE OUT & BEFORE YOU KNOW IT WE'LL BE DEFENDING OUR TITLE

Episode 189 looks ahead to Arsenal’s title defence as the 2026/27 Premier League fixtures drop and Tabs and Andy dive into them.

The FA have once again conspired against Arsenal by forcing us to play every team home and away. Outrageous. But we analyse it anyway.

The pair break down:

• the opening run, the tricky patches, the festive chaos

• the Community Shield vs City (how much do we actually care?)

• where the Champions League and domestic cups might collide

• the impact of the World Cup on squad availability and early‑season rhythm

• the games that jump out, the away days to circle, and the moments that feel like title‑deciders

• how the World Cup has (or hasn’t) grabbed us so far

• Scotland’s campaign, England’s form, and the Arsenal players involved

• the injury fears, the scheduling madness, and the countdown to pre‑season

The fixtures are out.The countdown begins.Fifty‑odd days until we go again.
