Our men’s first team aren’t in action this week, but there is still plenty going on across our women’s and academy teams.
Not to mention, both Mohamed Elneny and Takehiro Tomiyasu are still involved in the Africa Cup of Nations and Asian Cup for Egypt and Japan respectively.
Here’s what to look out for over the next seven days…
MONDAY
8pm - Cape Verde v Egypt
Mohamed Elneny’s involvement in the Africa Cup of Nations continues as Egypt take on Group B leaders Cape Verde at 8pm (BST) tonight.
Cape Verde are top of the group with six points while Egypt are second with two having drawn both of their games so far.
TUESDAY
TBC - Jonas Eidevall press conference
Jonas Eidevall will be back in front of the media in person and on Zoom for his pre-Reading press conference.
We will bring you all the updates here on Arsenal.com and the official app ahead of the FA Women’s Continental Tyres League Cup fixture.
WEDNESDAY
11.30am - Japan v Indonesia
Similarly to Egypt, Japan are second in their group ahead of their third match in the Asian Cup.
Takehiro Tomiyasu will be hoping for a positive result against third-placed Indonesia in order to qualify for the knockout stages.
7pm - Reading v Arsenal Women
We’ve had a great start to 2024, beating Watford 5-1 in the Adobe Women’s FA Cup and Everton 2-1 in the Barclays Women’s Super League. Now it’s time to turn attention back to the Conti Cup.
It’s the final game of the group stages and we are top of Group D with eight points while Reading are bottom with two. We will provide a full match report as well as all of the post-match reaction.
FRIDAY
TBC - Jonas Eidevall press conference
Jonas will hold his second press conference of the week ahead of Sunday’s trip to Liverpool.
We will provide all the coverage as he reflects on Wednesday’s game against Reading, looks ahead to the weekend and shares the latest team news.
7pm - Wolverhampton Wanderers v Arsenal U21s
Our under-21s are back in action with a trip to Aggborough Stadium on Friday night.
Mehmet Ali’s young Gunners last played in a 1-0 win at home to Middlesbrough to go fourth in Premier League 2 Division One, while Wolves are 11th after a 4-3 win over Norwich City.
SATURDAY
11.30am - Leicester City v Arsenal U18s
Our under-18s will be hoping to show a response to last weekend’s disappointing loss at Liverpool in the FA Youth Cup when they travel to Leicester City on Saturday.
We’re fourth in the U18 Premier League South and on a good run of form in the league, while Leicester are eighth having not won in their last four league fixtures.
SUNDAY
4.30pm - Liverpool v Arsenal Women
Level on points with second-placed Manchester City and just three shy of leaders Chelsea, we’re off to Merseyside this weekend to take on a Liverpool outfit who are fifth in the division with 18 points.
The Reds lost 5-1 away to Man City on Sunday though, but don’t have a midweek fixture to contend with.
We will provide a full match report and all the post-match reaction right here on Arsenal.com and the official app.
