Arsenal Women begin WSL season at home to Manchester City

The WSL fixtures for 2024-25 have been released and Arsenal have been handed an instant reunion with Vivianne Miedema as Manchester City visit Emirates Stadium on Sunday, 22 September at 12.30pm. Miedema left the club this summer to join City and a return to the Emirates is likely to constitute her full debut for her new club.

That is followed by a trip to Leicester City on 29 September. Arsenal have confirmed at least eight of their 11 WSL home games will take place at the Emirates next season and the other three will take place there too in the event that Arsenal are eliminated from the Champions League preliminary rounds in September.

Chelsea visit to the Emirates on 13 October, with a trip to Manchester United on 3 November and the away North London derby on 17 November. The Gunners have back to back away matches at Chelsea and Manchester City on 26 January and 2 February respectively and finish the season at home to Manchester United at the Emirates on 11 May.

The full fixture list is below, together with the games currently confirmed for Emirates Stadium.

Well we have to start somewhere!

Will Man City have played their Champion’s League qualifiers before that first WSL game? If not then maybe we might have a slight edge after playing knockout games in early September before going into that opening fixture.

one leg is before, one after

Maybe not a clear advantage then. Preseason will be so important given that September fixture schedule – Champions League knockout games and Man City over 3 weeks. Need to hit the ground running this season.

Before that, City takes part in a mini tournament in Oz

Not long to wait now. 9 weeks.

Hopefully Viv doesn’t embarrass us

Hopefully Arsenal embarrass Viv and all of City.

Hopefully Arsenal embarrass all of City, Viv included…

Hopefully, Viv gets a hat trick but the final score is 4-3 to the Arsenal.

There’s been some discussion here about what Viv’s role at City will be. I’d be surprised if she plays the full 90 minutes. And honestly I’m more worried about Lauren Hemp and Bunny Shaw! I’ve also been impressed by Poppy Pritchard at the U19 Euros. Interesting to see whether City will give her some first-team opportunities.

PP has looked good, hasn’t she? Arsenal have supplied most of the England strikeforce but she has outscored all of them. Can we sign her up somehow?

The City team has a Very good attack, but if Viv plays the full 90 minutes, someone who was a starter last season will be benched. I’m curious to see this City formation and we can see it in their pre-season, it will be an interesting attacking power, but we have world-class players , and if it’s to play beautifully and lose, I prefer to play ugly and win games and titles 😉

Just looked at tickets for the City game and availability is terrible.

Given it’s two-months away I’d have thought there would be loads of options.

Am I missing something?

They started with 3 upper tier blocks onsale, then added 3 more. They should put all onsale so people booking eariler get more choice.

lower tier went quickly as only a few blocks available for single match. a lot is season tickets/home advantage packs. Some lower tier will become available closer to the game resale/unsold away end

pahtotheworld

I don’t know why they are still putting upper tier onsale in small sections at a time. City game will sell minimum 50000

Chrishgooner

An act of prudence gained from past experience maybe?
Whilst appreciating that a full-house is highly likely why risk putting all seats/blocks on immediate sale and end up fully stewarding and staffing blocks which end up half empty?
Seems a sensible approach with the upper tier to open blocks in stages as ticket sales progress.

pahtotheworld

On what happened last season they should be confident first game of the season, chelsea, tottenham and ManU are going to sell enough to have the whole stadium in use
