Arsenal, led by Mikel Arteta, will face Aston Villa managed by Unai Emery at Villa Park on August 24.
Both teams secured wins in the opening weekend, with Arsenal defeating Wolverhampton Wanderers and Aston Villa triumphing over West Ham United.
Key players like Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka contributed to Arsenal’s victory, while Jhon Duran scored the winning goal for Villa.
Last season, Villa defeated Arsenal twice without conceding a goal, including a 2-0 victory at the Emirates Stadium that hampered the Gunners’ title aspirations.
Expect another closely contested match between the two sides early in the new campaign.
