Arsenal’s schedule for the Conti Cup group stages has now been confirmed. We already knew they had been drawn in a group with Tottenham, Bristol City, Southampton and Reading, we now know they will play Spurs and Bristol at home and Southampton and Reading away with the group concluding in late January 2024.
The Gunners would have enjoyed a bye to the quarter-finals had they qualified for the Champions League group stage but their elimination in the qualifying rounds in Sweden earlier this month means they are left to contest the group stage. The schedule is as below:
Bristol City (H)
Thursday 9th November, 7pm
Meadow Park
Southampton (A)
Thursday 23rd November, 6.30pm
St Mary’s Stadium
Tottenham Hotspur (H)
Wednesday 13th December, 7pm
Meadow Park
Reading (A)
Wednesday 24th January, 7pm
Select Car Leasing Stadium
It also means in their final week before the Christmas break, the Gunners will face Chelsea at the Emirates, Spurs at Meadow Park and then Spurs again at Brisbane Road in the space of a week. Arsenal are the holders of the trophy having beaten Chelsea in the final last year.
No problems…we squad is big enough to deal with that schedule

Please stop reminding us, Tim. 🙂
Those kick-off times are sensible for midweek, I might be able to make one of the two home games at Meadow Park.
